" Mom who will take care of me when you die?" My son asked me when I told him I had cancer. My life of triumph, overcoming adversity as cancer was a gift. An undercover detective for 20yrs never trained me for personal life transformations including,140lb. weight loss, battling cancer as a single mom, 2 boys and 11+ surgeries. Cancer allowed me to find my true purpose when others shy away from breaking their silence, I'm ALIVE to provid others courage and strength to find their voice.
