Hi, my name is Kimberly Sutphin and in August 2016 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I had surgery and radiation treatments, 6 years of medications only to have my first MRI after being finished with my medications to find my cancer has returned. So here I face a second diagnosis in Sept 2023. Now as I sit here in shock as I am trying to figure out how am I going to do all this over again? I am facing surgery, deciding if I should have a double mastectomy, facing chemo and radiation again. It is just so much to process and still manage to try and keep a positive outlook. I work full-time at a medical facility and my husband is a full time farmer. I could not ask for a better partner in life but the burden of what we are facing is clearly taking a toll on him as well. We struggle to keep our farming operation afloat, at times it is hard. With me being out of work for surgery, treatment, doctor’s appointments I am so stressed of how we are going to survive. My income takes care of the household expenses, the little farming income keeps the animals feed and equipment payments made.
It is hard for me to ask for help as I am always the one who helps people in need. I am humbled to ask for help during my second fight with the nasty disease. I pray for anyone else who is recently diagnosed and going through healing. I am so grateful for any help on this platform.
Donations will be going to treatments, gas, food, medical expenses, medications, utilities, hay expense for cattle upcoming winter season. Thank you again and God Bless!
