Interview by: Barbara R. Galloway
Teresa Wade, a cancer survivor, shares her journey of turning her cancer diagnosis into a ministry. In July 2021, amidst the ongoing COVID pandemic, Teresa felt like the most blessed woman in the world. She was married to a wonderful man, lived in a beautiful home, had two adorable grandchildren, a loving and supportive family, and loyal friends. To top it all off, she was celebrating 13 years as a kidney transplant survivor.
When Teresa received a follow-up letter after her mammogram, requesting another test, she initially didn't think much of it. She rationalized that call-backs were quite common. However, she had a little less resolve when the medical examiner told her, "the results look suspicious." The test revealed dense breast tissue, so, Teresa was scheduled for a biopsy.
"When my biopsy results came back, my world changed forever with three little words: 'it's breast cancer.' In that moment, I felt as if all the blood had drained from my body. I was numb. I was shocked. I was scared."
