Janet's Story
Janet was first diagnosed in 1999. She is now receiving Herceptin and dealing with metastasis. Her disease is currently stable.
Janet is a strong, active, resilient single mother with an autistic son. She volunteers at school and with Special Olympics, and continues to work part-time. Janet also provides care for a 3 year old grandson while her daughter works.
Janet has received memberships to a nearby municipal recreation center and municipal swimming pool from the Karen Dove Cabral Foundation. The center provides access to exercise facilities and whirlpool therapy, as well as childcare. She appreciates the benefits of exercise and respite now available to her. Janet says she is "incredibly grateful" that the foundation is able to provide her with this support.
