Kimmie Kicked Cancer’s Ass

I am a Navy veteran, mother of 2, and an avid Legend of Zelda fan (among many other nerdy things). I was diagnosed at 35 with stage 3 colon cancer on 11/20/2020. I had a very large tumor in my colon. I underwent surgery less than a week later, the day before Thanksgiving, to remove the tumor, 6 inches of my colon, and 22 lymph nodes. The cancer had spread to only 2 lymph nodes so my doctors recommended a course of 6 months of chemo. In December I had another procedure to place a port in my chest in preparation for chemo. I just completed my 3rd round with 9 more to go. I have been on short term disability since diagnosis but that benefit runs out on 2/21/2021 and I don’t know when I will be able to return to work due to chemo. I decided to start a gofund me to try and help cover the out of pocket medical expenses associated with my treatment and surgery. We are optimistic that we can nip this in the bud before it spreads anywhere else. I was perfectly healthy before all of this. Any donation is a blessing and if you are unable to donate please send all positive prayers and vibes my way. I will take all that I can get. With your help, love, and support I know we can kick cancer’s ass. Please feel free to share.


Update as of 7/9/2021

Happy to announce after 6 long months of chemo and a clean CT later I have been declared “no evidence of disease”!!! Thank you again for all your love, prayers, and support as I’ve gone through this journey. Looking forward to getting the rest of this poison out of my body and get back to a normal life. ❤️
