Life Is Good Even With Metastatic Stage 4 Cancer

I’m registered for the September 18, 2022 DMV Tri-State More Than Pink Walk. I started Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure, 2 years after I was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer in 1991. In 2010 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Cancer. I don’t know what life would have been like if it had not been for all the love and support my wonderful husband has given me. Because of him and my family and friends, this year I will be celebrating 31 years since I was first diagnosed, and will continue making many more wonderful memories!
