| | | | | | Grief in the Fight | | | Who would have thought that this would be my story? Who would have thought that within one year I would be diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36 and have 6 surgeries and 15 rounds of chemotherapy? In 2020, during a pandemic, while dealing with remote learning for a teen and toddler, and being a healthcare worker, the last thing I expected to be added to my plate was fighting for my life. I’ve always tried to see the positive in everything, but this experience challenged my faith and mindset. From the outside, no one would ever think this would be my story. However, it is my reality.
At a time when most would expect me to have a breakdown, I chose to use my story to inspire others. | | | | | | |

| | | | | Surviving Cancer To Pursue a Meaningful Life | | As I approach 83 years of age, I find myself thinking about the people and events that have had an impact upon my life. Dealing with cancer is at or near the top of the list.

|
| | | | | Where Are They Now? | | I continue to enjoy retirement and have increased the amount of time I exercise. I now run 13 miles twice a week and work out each day. I continue to attend karate and have been promoted to Renshi, which is a fourth-degree black belt.
