I am Chelsie Kemp, eldest daughter, of Deborah and my family and I are starting a gofund me for my mom seeking monetary donations to help support my mom during her breast cancer journey. The money will be utilized for her monthly medical expenses while she is unable to work.

Deborah is the mother of three adult children and the grandmother of two. She is a self-employed, hairdresser, for over 40 years. A long time resident to Frisco, Texas, she has cut the hair of many in the area and still does.

Story: Deborah noticed a lump in her breast after feeling soreness from working in the yard. She had believed it appeared because of the yard work. After concern she had one of her daughters examine the lump and it was then determined that she needed to get it evaluated immediately.

She had a mammogram in February where no lump was found and appeared clear. June is when she first felt the lump. On September 2nd, she had her first scan that showed she had a mass in her left breast. On September 21st she had a 3D mammogram and another scan. After reviewing the scan, the doctor asked that she come back the next day, September 22nd to have a biopsy of the lump and her lymph nodes.

The results showed she has grade 3 invasive ductal adenocarcinoma. The test of from the left axillary node biopsy was negative and benign soft tissues.

Money that remains unused after completion of her treatment will be donated to an organization that supports Breast Cancer.
