Review for Simonton Cancer Counseling Center Charitable Trust, Malibu, CA, USA
I was diagnosed with invasive triple negative breast cancer in November 2020 . I started my treatment plan December 17th 2021 smack dab in the middle of covid and the fall of my second marriage. I felt like my world was spinning out of control . My adopted mom had worked with the simonton center many years ago with great success. My mom put me in contact with Karen and I started working with her weekly via phone sometime in February of 2021 . I have completed 16 treatments of chemo and two of three surgeries. After completing my 16th chemo treatment I was given exactly four weeks for my body to heal before My first surgery . I decided to take a few weeks off from my weekly meeting with Karen . On week three of my four weeks of taking a break and not working with Karen .... no joke ! my tumor came back . I believe with all my heart that all of the work we were doing was helping me as much as the chemo was . I am now back working with Karen via phone each week . I've also started six months of oral chemo and plan on continuing my work with her . I live on the east coast and I hope when I'm able to make a trip out to California that I will get to meet Karen in person . I also had and have the most amazing furry friend by my side for my six months of in person chemo.
I AM GRATEFUL TO BE WORKING WITH KAREN .
I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY AMAZING TRIBE .
I AM GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE .
MUCH LOVE , KIMMY SUNSHINE
