Survivor of the Week
I am a 5-time cancer survivor. I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998 and am thankful to be two years out of my last cancer, breast again, having had a bi-lateral mastectomy in May 2018. PRAISE GOD, I’M ALIVE! God heals and NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST US SHALL PROSPER, IN JESUS NAME!

May 7, 2017 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I couldn’t think about what the doctor said. I had a Bilateral Mastectomy July 12th, 2017 and took 9 treatments of Taxol and Herceptin infusion for 18 months. I had a horrible plastic surgeon, I have been through 14 surgeries so far.

First of all I don’t consider myself a “survivor”, I am a cancer warrior. At age 72, I was diagnosed late 2017 with a 2.5 centimeter lesion near the base of my esophagus.

My dentist wasn’t concerened about the rotting tooth (I ignored for way to long) but he was very concerned about the lesion under my tongue.
