Hello, my name is Kim Bell. I'm 51 years old.

I am sharing my story to inform everyone that I was recently diagnosed with Papillary Cancer on August 21st, 2024, as I was preparing to do a Double Mastectomy. I needed to do an MRI, so after doing my MRI, I had to do a second biopsy and found out I have Triple Negative Breast Cancer. So instead of doing surgery, I have to do chemo for 6 months to shrink the tumor before I can do surgery.

On top of dealing with breast cancer, I also have Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Raynaud's syndrome. I'm missing a lot of work due to so many doctor's appointments. I will be out of work for a while after I start doing chemo treatments and will be out for 6 weeks after my surgery.

I have to pay a thousand dollars before I can start my chemo treatments, along with all the other medical bills I am incurring. My insurance only covers a portion of my medical bills, but not all, so I'm reaching out to ask for help to pay some of these bills.
