Courage Unveiled:  A Journey of Hope, Healing and Victory! 

Our youngest sister, Camille Angelle Bulliard, age 51, was diagnosed in November 2023 with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer. Her siblings are launching this campaign to first, ask for your deepest prayers as she embarks on this very difficult and brutal path, and second, to humbly ask you to join us by contributing financially to offset medical expenses not covered by insurance such as alternative therapies known to improve outcomes. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference! 

Who is Camille:

Camille is the youngest of eight children, born on the Bayou Teche in Saint Martinville, Louisiana. She had a robust young adult life including an extraordinary experience as an LSU Golden Girl, following her dreams of living and working in New York City and Los Angeles, then earning her MFA in Theatre at SMU, Dallas, TX. Today, she is an Associate Professor of Theatre at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (ULL), lives in Youngsville, Louisiana with her lifelong partner David and is the mother of their two young children, Sophia (10) and Roman (7). She was embracing her best life when the devastating news of breast cancer came her way. Camille is one of the strongest, most selfless people we know and is always there to lend her love and support to anyone who needs it; on campus, in social circles and at home. Now she needs our help and yours! Those of you who know Camille, know what an extraordinary human being she is.

Her Diagnosis: Invasive Ductile Carcinoma HER2+, Stage 3

In April 2023, Camille had her annual breast mammography. She was asked to repeat the exam the following month, May 2023, and she was informed it was “normal”. In late summer/early fall of 2023, things took a drastic turn and Camille noticed changes to her right breast. After a series of comprehensive tests in the pursuit of a diagnosis, navigating a labyrinth of medical examinations, biopsies and consultations, she was informed on November 9, 2023 that she had aggressive Invasive Ductile Carcinoma HER2+, Stage 3. She was devastated, terrified and confused. Her mammogram test was read as “normal” just 6 months earlier! Her strength in facing this diagnosis is admirable and is the driving force behind our efforts to help her with the unexpected and unplanned expenses that we know are ahead of her.

Treatment Plan: Conventional and Alternative – Details in next update…

Easing the Financial Burden:  The costs of medical treatments, prescriptions, alternative therapies and other related expenses are mounting. In the spirit of love, community, and shared humanity, we are humbly reaching out to ask for your support and prayers. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful impact. Your generosity will directly help alleviate the financial burden on her family, allowing she and David to focus on her treatments and recovery and maintain normalcy for Sophia and Roman.

With heartfelt appreciation from Camille’s parents and siblings,

Ed & Jane, Melissa, Suzy, Cindy, Edmond, Mike, Ben and Mary
