Story
In the spring of 2025, Rachel was diagnosed with breast cancer, beginning a challenging journey that has already included two surgeries. She now faces 12 weeks of chemotherapy (beginning on June 4th), followed by one more major surgery. Through it all, Rachel has shown incredible strength and resilience. Her chemotherapy sessions will take place weekly on Wednesdays, and her doctors have advised that the side effects will be most intense 48 to 72 hours afterward. For this reason, we are kindly requesting meals for the weekends, when she is likely to feel her worst and extra support will be especially helpful. We have created this site to offer guidance to her loved ones on meaningful ways they can support her during this difficult time. As we learn more about Rachel’s needs throughout her treatment, updates or changes will be made. For any questions related to this page, please reach out to Sahra Jabbehdari at 770-355-8320 or sahrajabbehdari@gmail.com. Thank you!
