I finished my last chemo session October 27, 2021. November 9, 2021, I was rushed to the hospital, because the tumor in my breast had spread to my brain. After undergoing brain surgery, two months later I had a double mastectomy. Along with many other surgeries. I am a Christian woman, and not only am I an advocate for Christ, but I am an advocate for cancer survivors all over the world.
