Survivor Denise Barrett, She was diagnosed the fist time one year after her son was born.  Only 30 years old herself and in shock, it took over a year to find out what was wrong.  After removing a football size cancerous tumor from her uterus, she started treatment.  Going through treatment and being a single mom was hard but it made me strong enough to fight.   Also diagnosed with Papilary cancer after having a golf ball sized tumor removed from thyroid, she now has been cancer free for 8 years now.
