Jody's Story - Episode 5
Jody received her first breast cancer diagnosis at 39. No insurance (and pre-affordable care act) she had to wait over a year to get a suspicious lump check out, which turned out to be breast cancer. After a double mastectomy, chemotherapy & radiation, Jody beat it!
Sadly, the cancer came back just 4 years later. Though at the time, she was made to feel like she was being paranoid and forced to wait 6 more moths before anything was done. Jody was told at that time she was stage 4 and there wasn't much they could do other than make her comfortable. Thankfully, she sought a second opinion and the surgical oncologist at Chapel Hill had a different idea about her diagnosis. He successfully treated her cancer for a second time.
This past June, Jody felt another weird lump in her lymph nodes, which has now been confirmed as stage 4 cancer. She is going through chemotherapy, and fighting as hard as anyone can, because in her words "my boobs are not going to kill me". She has 2 young daughters to fight for and a wonderful group of friends supporting her. We are honored to be among them after meeting her today and feel privileged to share her story with you.
Please feel free to share this podcast (and our videos) & to join us in praying for a full recovery for Jody, as well as all those facing this dreadful disease! We encourage you to subscribe to our YouTube channel to see all of the conversation we've had surrounding breast cancer, which will be shared throughout the month of October.
This is the audio version of our web series, which can be watched on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to see full episodes as well as our horses in the background, as this show is filmed at at equestrian facility in Concord North Carolina.
