Kathy is embarking on the hardest battle of her life to date. She has already been through so much, and now, a battle with Triple Negative Invasive Ductal Breast Cancer. She will be undergoing chemo treatments once a week for 12 weeks then 1 chemo session a month for 3 cycles, which each cycle is every 21 days.Then after that 1 chemo session a month times 9 cycles each cycle is 21 days at Kaiser Capitol Hill (so a long drive from home). These treatments are the most aggressive possible. She will then undergo a lumpectomy 4-6 weeks after her last round of chemo,(which is around 15 months) unfortunately, she is not a candidate for reconstructive surgery due to other medical issues she has. Then she will have radiation 5 days a week for 3-6 weeks.

Kathy will lose her hair (she would love to purchase a couple of wigs), and her immune system will be suppressed, so working will be difficult at times, as she works at a hospital, surrounded by sick people. 

With the long drives for appointments and possible loss of wages, Kathy and Jeff need our help to make this journey just a little less stressful. Any amount you can donate will be a huge help for our warrior. If you can't donate, please take a moment to share this fundraiser!
