Sandie is "just a normal kid of 55" who lives in Fogelsville, PA. Sandie enjoys reading, learning, laughing, and has a life-long addiction to bingo. She's a mother, grandmother, and cancer survivor.

Cancer. This is one word no one wants to hear from their doctor — I know I didn’t. I felt I was “above” cancer. I learned very quickly this is something I don’t have control over, but I don’t want cancer to win. So, I get my back up and make a stand against it.

I also know that this is a fight I cannot fight alone, so I put my trust in my doctor and my faith in God. And I surround myself with as many people as I can — some positive, some negative — and I listen and I learn.

Who makes up your support system? Who do you wish you had had on the team from the beginning, but didn’t?
