Hi, I am creating this Go Fund Me page in support of my amazing cousin (Kimmy) and her beautiful family. She beat cancer once and now she is gonna beat it again! Now I'm gonna let her tell you her story.

Hi my beautiful FB family & friends,
I know I haven’t officially posted what is going on and I consider myself a very open person so I’m okay in sharing this & spreading awareness.
I have been diagnosed with Uterine leiomyosarcoma which was discovered after my hysterectomy. It’s a rare malignancy of the smooth muscle. Biopsy had shown it was contained to the uterus and was in a 4lb fibroid they removed and had not spread. I found this out on my birthday. I was referred to an Ob/Gyn oncologist just to make sure it had not spread.
Had a STAT CT just to find out it had metastasized to my liver and measuring at 8 cm. Just had a biopsy yesterday to confirm this. I’m still trying to wake up every day from what I was hoping was a horrible nightmare.
I am VERY strong, but I am also scared, I’m confused, I’m overwhelmed, I’m mad, and I want to scream! This is 10x harder than my breast cancer diagnosis last year as this is considered stage 4. Also this did not come from my breast cancer.
I will fight though and when my flame is getting low, I will fight harder to keep it burning.
My number one priority is my boy!
He is my all and I will show him who’s boss in this shitty cancer! He has been my rock!
My life may turn completely upside down in the next few months and take a different route, but I’m coming back as a survivor, a warrior, and stronger than ever! I will kick this cancers ass because I am a bad ass bitch!!!
I will not let it define me though. it’s only a chapter of my life. A chapter I will close!
The prayers, support, and love so far have been so damn AMAZING and I am incredibly grateful to all of you! ♥️
Seriously there are no words and I’m crying posting this
Don’t worry though I’m still gonna post my stupid and silly memes cuz I know you’ll miss those
And once again #fuckcancer
