Barbi’s Battle of Breast Cancer

Friends and family, I am starting this on my moms behalf, Barbi Walker who was recently diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer.

Her journey started on 2/2/23. She has an amazing care team working with her every week at KU Medical Cancer Center. She started chemotherapy on 3/2/23, going every Thursday for treatment for 24 weeks. After chemotherapy she will have a mastectomy surgery with a 4–6 week recovery period, followed by 6 weeks of radiation. She will have radiation treatment everyday for 6 full weeks. It’s going to be a long road ahead this year that no one expected for my mom, but we will be supporting her 100% of the way through it all. I already know how much she is loved and supported by all of you who have lifted her up in prayer, personal messages, and daily thoughts and will continue doing so until the end. It truly does make a difference during this process.

For those of you that know my mom, you know she is not one to ask for help, but is always the first person to give it. I’ve created this GoFundMe account to help her with medical bills, meals, gas, and all of the additional expenses that will come with this new journey of hers over this next year. I want to put this out there for those that feel led to donate in this kind of way. I know my mom isn’t going to ask for anything from anyone, but I know she’ll accept the help especially when she sees how many people love her and want to help her through this. She enjoys helping others and now it’s her turn to receive the help. Love is a powerful thing. Let’s continue to shower my mom with love this year! My mom is so strong and a fighter and will be even stronger once she beats this cancer!
