Cynthia Johnson Testimonial

Cynthia Johnson was diagnosed with breast cancer in June, 2007 and now celebrates  13 years as a survivor. “Today, I am grateful that I was diagnosed early. My decision to  have a mastectomy was validated when I met with my oncology surgeon. He told me my decision to remove the entire breast was a good one because the pathology report showed that cancer cells were found throughout the entire breast. God helped me make that decision. After pulling myself together with the grace of God, 5 months later, I was diagnosed with cancer on my left side. I underwent surgery and had another full mastectomy. After going thru a second mastectomy, I knew I had to lean on the Lord up above.” 

She received treatment through both Kettering Health Network and Premier Health and was treated like family. “They all were tremendous assistance to my wellbeing. They were friendly, sincere and compassionate everywhere I went…I would like to say thanks to them all.” 

“To my family, friends and coworkers thanks for all of your support and prayers. I'm truly  grateful for all the thoughtful and kind things that you all did and are still doing for me. I  am so grateful to have each of you in my life. And I am grateful to Gala of Hope. God  has guided my steps and decisions since day one. Healing is a package deal on your mind, body and soul and I'm so grateful. I wanted to live to see my kids and grandchildren grow up, and that’s what gave me the drive to fight cancer. You can't fight cancer if you don't have hope and faith!
