  Speaker 1: this year. Do you mind telling us what happened? Maybe
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: take us back to about April.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: April I was having headache, and in the past was
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: about eighteen. I had problems with having headaches for a
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: couple of years, and I thought it was just that,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: but I was getting my words mixed up to my
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: son and my husband mentioned that. So I went into
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the doctor and I found out that I had something
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: in my head that I ended up having surgery in
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: May and found out that I had brain cancer. But
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: it's been I've been so lucky. I have so many
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: great friends and so many people praying for me, and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I just I've been very, very lucky. So unfortunately, I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: haven't been teaching this year, and I really miss seeing
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: the staff and the students. But I've been being keeping busy.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I was going to speech once a week. Now I'm
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: going twice week or I'm sorry, twice a month, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: just working on getting all my words going.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: How many kids do you have?
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I have three. I have two t twin girls who
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: are twenty one years old. Oh and then my little
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: boy is sixteen. He's a sophomore in Holly Trisia.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Can I also ask you a question, for all the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: intense things that are going on in your life right now,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: how do you have such a positive attitude? You mentioned
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: multiple times how lucky you are, and I just I'm
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: kind of curious where do you find that.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: That's a great question. I mean, I do have a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: great I have a big faith and even going into surgery.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I wasn't scared that they're in you be cutting my
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: head open. It just I've been really I've just had
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: a really strong face since the beginning of it, and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I believe it is a lot because of everyone supporting
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and praying for me. That's even strengthened my faith.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I know that you are an amazing mom, and I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: can only imagine especially you're doing God's work as a teacher,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and just the support that you have in DGF and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Holly and everybody wrapping their arms around you. I know
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that probably feels really good. But as you're going through
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: are you still going to your chemo treatments?
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, yep, I have a couple more months of that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: As you're going through this journey, I can't help but
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: think the doctor bills everything, it's got to be adding up.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And with the holidays around the corner, having kids missing
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: out on work, I can't imagine how that feels.
