Still Paddling - Stories of Life After Cancer

There are more than 4 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States, each with a unique story of resilience and triumph. Today, we shine a light on one such story: Dr. Irma Rey, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and has been cancer-free for over 11 years. Her journey not only highlights the importance of early detection but also emphasizes the transformative power of community and self-care.

From the fear of hearing the words "you have cancer" to finding strength through family, faith, and dragon boating, her story is a reminder that healing is about so much more than treatment—it's about rediscovering yourself.
