Rose's Story:
Rose was diagnosed in December of 1999, just a few years after her mother died from her own battle with breast cancer. After an initial crumble when her diagnosis was delivered, Rose faced cancer with determination. Rose had 9 weeks of chemotherapy and 36 radiation therapy treatments. After completing treatments Rose emerged the same wonderful sister, mother, coworker, friend and, most of all, survivor that she always was.
