Kim ’s Story

Site created on August 4, 2023

Kimmy has breast cancer. She had a mastectomy Thursday (August 3rd). She found out in mid June. The cancer is in her lymph-nodes so she will need further treatment such as chemo and radiation. Because of the cancer being in her lymph nodes it’s considered stage 3.

“I’m am holding strong to my faith. This feels more of a spiritual battle than physical. I am choosing to live in faith and not fear.
I am grateful for all of my prayer warriors and only ask for prayers from everyone.” - kimmy

Newest Update

Journal entry by Kimberly Jacobson

So I am moved into my new place in Iona.  It’s just this side of Sanibel and basically between Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach.  So I’m back in the “hood” of where I started.
My new townhome is bigger, newer, closer to my new job (I LOVE my new job!) and to my Indian Creek rebuild, $600 cheaper per month etc.  I now have a screened lanai and a yard for Millie.  
My hair is starting to grow back!  It’s pure WHITE!  I attached a photo.
I have 4 chemos left.  1/30 should be my LAST CHEMO.  I’ll get to “ring the bell” and plan to Facebook live the ringing.
I then have 6 weeks of radiation followed by a reconstructive surgery and I’m DONE.  God willing.
That’s my update!
My friend Kimber is coming in tonight for a visit.  Totally looking forward to that!
Thanks all for the support!
Kim
