A cancer survivor is sharing her story of hope and survival through an unbelievably challenging time.
Yesterday, Newfoundland Power announced a $250,000 donation to Cancer Foundation that will help fund a new chemotherapy unit at Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre.
Pam Brown was diagnosed with tongue cancer last year after a routine dentist appointment noticed unusual spots on her tongue. She went through surgery and then chemotherapy treatment. Brown had her last treatment a few months ago.
She says it is not until someone is actually standing underneath that bell, ravaged by the effects of cancer treatments that they realize just how powerful that moment is.
Brown emphasis the the importance of fund raising campaigns, such as the In This Together with Newfoundland Power.
She says when people donate to such campaigns, they do not see the difference it makes. Brown says she knows people who are going through treatments right now and the new facility will make a big difference to them.
