Help Cindy Davis NicUilliam Fight Breast Cancer

Campaign Goal: $5,000

A Joyful Update on Cindy  

 We are so happy to share some wonderful news — Mom rang the bell and is officially cancer-free. This moment is one we’ve all prayed for, and it truly filled our hearts with gratitude and happy tears. 

 Now begins a new chapter: recovery and healing. Cindy is doing her best to stay active each day, taking gentle steps forward, while also honoring her body’s need for rest. Her doctors have shared that it may take about a year before she starts feeling fully like herself again, and she’s giving herself grace through that process. 

 As always, she continues to face this journey with strength, humility, and a thankful heart. We cannot put into words how much the prayers, encouragement, love, and generosity from all of you have meant to her and to our family. Every message, every donation, and every prayer has helped carry her through some of the hardest days. 

 While the cancer chapter has closed, the road to full recovery continues, and prayers and donations are still deeply appreciated as medical expenses and healing needs remain. 

 From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for walking beside Cindy through this journey. Your kindness has been a true blessing, and we are endlessly grateful.  

With love and gratitude, 

Cindy’s Family

Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

We’re here to share an update on Cindy’s health and continue to express our gratitude for each of you who has supported us during this challenging time.

Cindy’s Journey - Update

Needing the Luck of the Irish! Cindy is going into reconstructive surgery on March 17th. Although she is very excited/nervous, this is just another co-pay :( We are trying to keep her in a happy mode, bit it's still hard for her not to think about money :( Please keep sending prayers her way.

Since beginning her treatment, Cindy has shown exceptional bravery and resilience. We’re grateful to share that she has completed her chemotherapy! Today, January 23, 2025, marks the start of a new phase in her journey—treatment with Herceptin. This monoclonal antibody medication is specifically designed to target HER2-positive breast cancer, and she will receive it for one year, totaling around 18 cycles.

Mom continues to face this battle with strength and grace. While the treatment has left her very weak, she is holding on and making progress. She’s sporting a much shorter hairstyle these days but, as always, she is radiantly beautiful. On her good days, she treasures time with family, and of course, her beloved Ellie-Grace.

Why We’re Thankful

Our family is incredibly thankful for all the love, prayers, and support that have poured in from friends, family, and even strangers. Every kind gesture, message, and donation has lifted our spirits and helped us stay strong together. With God’s help, we believe the year ahead will bring healing and hope.

How You Can Continue to Help

The financial challenges of ongoing treatment remain, and your support means everything to us. Whether through donations, prayers, or even just spreading the word about Cindy’s story, every bit of kindness helps us make it through.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Cindy and our family during this time. Your generosity inspires us every single day.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Family of Cindy

Dear friends, family, and kind strangers,

We are reaching out to you with a heavy heart to ask for your support during this incredibly challenging time for our family. Our mom, Cindy NicUilliam, a vibrant and active woman, has recently been diagnosed with two types of breast cancer (Stage 2), and we need your help.

Cindy's Journey

It all started when she went out for a horse ride and accidentally fell, landing on her chest. Concerned about the bruising, she scheduled a doctor's appointment. What seemed like a routine check-up quickly turned into something far more serious. On May 14th, 2024, we received the devastating news that she has breast cancer. Further tests revealed that she has two types of breast cancer:

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) - An early stage of breast cancer affecting the cells lining the milk ducts.

HER2-positive breast cancer - A more aggressive type that accounts for about 15-20% of breast cancer diagnoses.

From the Doctor

Right breast cancer, 2.3 cm high-grade invasive ductal carcinoma, ER/PR negative, HER2 3+, 0/3 lymph nodes, status postmastectomy. We will proceed with adjuvant chemotherapy. We will plan to treat with Taxotere, carboplatin, and Herceptin. We will not add Perjeta since her lymph nodes were negative. This will be given with curative intent. We reviewed potential side effects. We will schedule chemotherapy teaching and give additional drug information today. She will receive 6 cycles of TCH given every 3 weeks, then continue every 3-week Herceptin for a full year of dosing. Left ventricular function can be affected by Herceptin. We will do a MUGA scan baseline prior to starting treatment. Venous access will require us to place a port.

Current Situation

Since the diagnosis, Cindy has made the difficult decision to take a leave from work to focus on her health. She has already undergone a biopsy and met with multiple doctors to discuss the next steps. On June 28th, we learned that she will need chemotherapy and a mastectomy.

On July 31st, Cindy had a double mastectomy and is healing very well. On September 19th, she went back to the hospital to get her port put in, which she will wear for the next year. Her first chemotherapy treatment is scheduled for September 23rd. She will go in every three weeks for a year, undergoing 6 treatments of one kind of medicine and a year of another kind of medicine.

On July 31st, Mom had a double mastectomy. Thankfully, she is healing very well. However, on September 19th, she went back to the hospital to get her port put in, which she will need for the next year. Her first treatment of chemotherapy is scheduled for September 23rd, and she will undergo treatments every three weeks for a year.

Throughout this entire ordeal, Cindy has been incredibly brave, but she is also understandably scared.

Why We Need Your Help

The financial burden of medical expenses and lost wages is overwhelming. Hospitals send their bills at lightning speed, and the costs are piling up. We have set up this GoFundMe campaign with the goal of raising $3,000 to cover these medical expenses and support Cindy during her treatment.

How You Can Help

Your donation, no matter the size, will make a significant difference and provide much-needed relief during this difficult time. If you can't donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. Every bit of support helps.

Thank you for your generosity and kindness. Together, we can help Cindy fight this battle and come out stronger on the other side.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Family of Cindy
