Monica Price

In December 2014, Monica Price was diagnosed with 20 percent ER+, PR/HER2-, Stage 1B breast cancer in the right breast. In the hopes of reducing any chance of reoccurrence, Monica decided to have a double mastectomy. After immediate reconstruction and six rounds of Taxotere, Adriamycin and Cyclophosphamide chemotherapy, she closed one chapter and moved onto the next. Monica and her loved ones enjoyed twenty months of remission, but in February 2017, the cancer returned to a small lymph node just above her collarbone. This time, she received four rounds of chemotherapy, surgery and 32 radiation treatments. But in November 2017, Monica received even more difficult news. Her body had not taken to the treatment and the cancer had progressed even further, to her spine and was now triple negative. “I allowed myself to cry and be angry, but I didn’t stay there long. I slapped myself on the face and said, ‘OK, let’s get it together. I can do this! I’ve done it before and I can do this again,’” she said. Since Monica’s reoccurrence, she has been on five different treatments and in early September, she started clinical trial that her and her family pray is “the one”. Those who meet Monica and are fortunate enough to hear her story and sense her hope and courage, are forever-changed.
