At 36 years old, Elaine McGraw Brannon detected a lump in her breast during a self examination. This was not uncommon. She experienced a thickening of breast tissue (also known as Fibrosis) since she had breasts, which would subside within a few days. She informed  her doctor and expected the lump to be gone prior to her previously scheduled appointment. It was not. Her doctor immediately referred her to a surgeon having experienced a similar  situation with his wife and mother. With only a 10-month residency in her community and no  family other than her husband, Elaine went into full faith mode knowing she faced navigating a  health system that was unfamiliar. She asked God to provide her with a relay team of  professionals, reflecting on her high school track days. Within the month, the baton had been  handed to a radical surgeon and Elaine was diagnosed with breast cancer. Elaine’s faith was a  perfect match with the surgeon’s mode of practice. For five years, she endured a series of  surgeries, followed by aggressive treatments and medication therapy. As a licensed Social  Worker with 15 years experience at the time, Elaine and her family watched her own case plan  form and unfold.

Elaine was determined to be grateful for the technology afforded to her and not dread any  tests, but view them as an opportunity to see God’s handiwork. On days when she did not feel  well, she forced herself to think on the things that God instructed through the Apostle Paul;  things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, excellent, or praiseworthy. Elaine  met others who were involved with breast cancer awareness and advocates for patient’s rights  and services. She volunteered for several organizations, but her Social Work mind reflected on  the gap in services to survivors. She observed that survivors knew more about their diagnosis  and its side effects, than they did about their God-given strength to overcome; and their  potential to help others in more ways than awareness and advocacy. Her breast cancer journey  led her to establish Revivals Health & Wellness Council, to support breast cancer survivors now  by celebrating wellness while other great organizations advocate and search for a cure. The  Annual Keeping the Faith Breast Cancer Survivors Luncheon and the Survivors’ Birthday Club are the foundation of this celebration culture using music, movement, and humor, which  studies show are effective antidepressants. In addition, as a Social Worker on Demand, she  uses her administrative and clinical skills to offer resources and case management.

Elaine M. Brannon is a Licensed Master Social Worker whose career spans over 35 years; with 9 years as  a professor of Introduction to Social Work and Crisis Intervention classes. She currently serves as the sole  Social Worker at a Rural Critical Access Hospital. She is the Founder and Director of Revivals Health &  Wellness Council and is a breast cancer survivor.
