With her life paused due to breast cancer, a South Jersey attorney discovered what her real talents and joy were and now, she's using comedy to inspire others.
They say laughter is the best medicine and that certainly rang true for a South Jersey woman when her breast cancer experience helped her find a new calling in stand-up comedy."I could have the CBD and THC that I wanted and it was like nobody cared!" says Queen Stewart at a comedy fundraiser in New Castle, Delaware.But just before her 36th birthday, the young attorney was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.
"When I had my double mastectomy, only a month after being diagnosed, they pulled out 19 lymph nodes and 13 were cancerous," said Queen."I started to suffer severely with neuropathy - tingling and numbness of your hands and feet," she said. "It was like needles in your feet.""What can you do now, faced with what you're facing, to still be happy and find joy?" she thought, again and again.
Queen Stewart will bring her humor and life lessons to the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Sunday, October 15, as a survivor speaker.For more information on the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk or to register for the event,
