Strength to overcome cancer & grief

from Life after an ego death · host Ashley Patino

In this inspiring story, Irma Palacios was diagnosed with cancer four times and beat it. She is pending for her fifth diagnosis tomorrow. She shares her story of her first child getting diagnosed with polio. She continues on to share that her three children (Henry, her oldest with polio, died of kidney cancer during surgery removal. Missy, died of a neuroendocrine tumor in her colon that spread to her liver. Ronnie, her youngest son, died of colon cancer) got diagnosed with cancer and died all within the same year. She focuses on a positive attitude, unshakable faith and resilience. Anyone enduring cancer or grief can overcome their hardships after listening to her life story. I cried the whole time.
