Amy’s Story

Site created on May 21, 2023

On May 11th Amy noticed a suspicious lump had appeared on her left breast. She was able to see a doctor the following day who recommended further testing. The following week Amy underwent several mammograms, ultrasounds, and eventually a biopsy.

On Thursday May 18th Amy was unfortunately diagnosed with Stage Two Invasive Ductal Carcinoma.

On Monday May 22nd we met with an oncologist who confirmed the tumor has a triple negative response, which is an aggressive form of this cancer. They recommended 20 weeks of chemotherapy likely starting in two weeks. Amy will then likely have surgery, followed by radiation. 

Amy has an incredible support system surrounding her. We would like to use this site as a platform form to provide updates, support and pray for Amy as she fights this battle.

Journal entry by Amy Mckinley

I did it! I rang the bell for radiation today, another milestone crossed off the list and one step closer to being done. Every day the past month I drove to northfield for appointments, and received excellent care by the staff at Mayo Clinic. I feel waves of excitement, yet I am also terrified as I approach the finish line. There is still a few months left in this journey. Treatment has been a feat the last 10 months. But in an odd way it has also been a form of comfort I am slowly losing as I approach the end of this fight and begin the next. The process I will take each and every day as I fight to make it to remission, and beyond. Some days are much harder than others but today was a good reminder of what I have accomplished. That my body is incredible. That I am so grateful for each and every day that I get to wake up and work to be the best version of myself.
