Kimberly's Fight Against Cancer

Hello my name is Kimberly Calvin.  I am a 28 year old wife and mother of two; Iyanna, 6 and Payton, 3. I was recently diagnosed with Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) breast cancer. As you can image, this came as a complete shock to me and my family.

In October 2016, I started having pain in my breast so I went to my doctor to have it checked out. At that time, I was informed that no lumps were found and there was nothing to worry about. A few months later, I noticed a lump – I was scared of the possibilities of what it could be.

I went to the doctor again at the beginning of April and my fears were confirmed.  There was definitely a mass in my breast.  Shortly after, I had an ultrasound, a mammogram, as well as a bioposy to take a further look into the mass.  At this point, I still had hope that it was nothing major and I could go back to my normal life.  On April 17, 2017, I got the devestating phone call from my doctor who informed me that the results came back positive for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC).

In early May, I received a second opinion regarding the best treatment options to persue.  After consulting with several specialists, my family and I determined the best approach would be to proceed with a lumpectomy procedure to remove the mass.  My surgery is scheduled for May 31st, 2017.

The past few months have been very stressful and has taken a toll on me emotionally, physically and financially.  I travel from Texas to Chicago to meet with specialists and receive treatment.  I am asking for your prayers and donations to help with some of the financial burden associated with my diagnosis.  With your help and support, I will fight and beat this so that my husband and I can continue to be a part of our children’s lives.  Any contribution that you can make would be a huge help and greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance for your support.
