Rebecca Haines: MA, 1985 (Speech Communication)

Rebecca Haines had a rare malignancy in 2004, and after a chemo pill and surgery at the University Hospital, she is now experiencing remission euphoria! She recently purchased a condominium and is speaking about her experience to a few small groups, to spread the word of hope and possibilities. She continues to work as a registered nurse at an assisted living facility part-time and swims 1/2 mile per week, which she says is "both exercise and recreation!" Her inspiring story of diagnosis and recovery is published in the support group newsletter for the type of tumor she had. Please see: www.liferaftgroup.org then click on "Coping," then "Member's Stories," then click on her name. Her story is called: "Fifty-one weeks from diagnosis to remission."
