While the survivors took to the spotlight, they shared their stories of resilience.
“The Mitchell Cancer Institute invites both our cancer survivors, their families and people who want to know more about breast cancer to come and join us for the afternoon. We do an educational panel and fabulous fashion show to celebrate our survivors,” said Dr. Pierce.“One in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and we’re still working every day to make sure that women are getting their mammograms on time.
Darlene Chavers and Cecilia Henderson are two survivors in a friendship forged during the darkest times of their lives. “We actually went through chemotherapy together- that’s how we first met. We’re both 15 year survivors, so we went through mastectomy, chemo, and radiation,” said Chavers.“You should get your mammograms faithfully,” said Henderson.
“I think this is important too, along with everything that’s done in October, to get breast cancer awareness out there,” added Chavers.High school teacher put on leave after school officials discover her OnlyFans pageProtests for the removal of several leaders in the Mobile Archdiocese gaining support
