I am proud to be here today as a four-time cancer survivor. My journey began when I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease at the age of 18.  Then, twenty years later, in came breast cancer. Since then, I have fought this disease on three separate occasions. For me, unfortunately, cancer is something that has been

This year marks the 9-year anniversary of my winning the battle against cancer. I am proud to have fought so hard. As I reached the stepping-off point of this Earth due to sepsis from treatment a great force pulled me back… the will to live is such a powerful thing. Although I am proud to

I am 66 and 5 years ago January 16, 2016, I had a routine colonoscopy and my world changed when I woke up and was told I had stage 3 colon cancer. My husband was and is my rock. I am living with neuropathy from the chemo treatments but I am a warrior/survivor, alive and

I’m 68 years old and in 2018 I was diagnosed with NHL stage 4 grade 2. I went through the treatment and went on to the maintenance program in 2019.  In Jan 2020 I went to the ER for a pain in my side and that’s when they discovered a tumor on my pancreas, which
