"Thriving Through Breast Cancer"
One of the most feared things a woman can hear is "You have breast cancer." Becky thought the only thing worse would be to hear, "You have it again." However, she found out that she'd believed a lie for 8 years. When a second battle could have brought her to her knees, Becky stood up and fought again. This time though, she faced it with strength she never knew she had. Join Becky as she shares her story of thriving not only through breast cancer, but after it...twice."Welcome to the 5-H Club - Hair, Humor, Health, Happiness and Hope"
