How I Survive Cancer

One day at a time is the motto.

My 6-year-old daughter and husband give me strength and my incredible team of doctors who saved my life.

I have undergone six surgeries since being diagnosed, and I keep fighting and hoping for remission.

How I Fight for a Cure

My oncologist keeps me informed of current studies and other experimental programs available for my rare cancer.

My Caring Words of Encouragement

It is important to live and love for today.

I pray daily that a cure becomes available and for new technology that can continue my life with my daughter and family.
