VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHT​
Sarah and kids.jpg
Being diagnosed with Breast Cancer is difficult for anyone. Being diagnosed with Breast Cancer as the world is shutting down due to a pandemic is a whole new level. On March 20, 2020, I found myself alone at CAMC Breast Center for a biopsy that I figured would leave me on edge as I waited for the results. However, there was no waiting on results I was diagnosed before the biopsy was performed with my mother in the parking lot on FaceTime due to CAMC closing all visitors’ hours before that appointment. 
At thirty-eight and a single mom of two teens, I wasn’t sure how I would get through what would be the hardest year of my life. The only thing that kept me going was my faith and knowing that I wanted to see my kids’ graduate, get married, have kids and be successful above all. After 6 rounds of TCHP, 9 additional rounds of Herceptin, 28 rounds of radiation and 9 surgeries, while leaving my family in various  parking lots I am thankful to say that I am a survivor and excited to share my journey!

***WVBHI is pleased to announce that Sarah is now a new team member of our Board of Directors and continues to share her journey and inspire and assist others.
