In August 2025, I will be 5 years post-cancer treatment.  This "marker" is a big deal for people on a cancer journey.  I will go off my medication!  Woo Hoo!  I am forever grateful to my medical team Dr. Anne Wallace, Dr. Edna Flores, Dr. Steven Chen and Dr. James Chao.

I am most grateful to my family  and friends who supported me in this journey, especially my husband Jim and our children.  I want to thank my siblings and their spouses Cindy (Howard), Paul (Paula), and Linda (Jim).  I am also thankful to my friends Sue, Jackie, Charlotte, Marika, Carole, Cyndi, Becky, Alison, Traci and Roger who loved and supported me.

I will walk for Diana Graham, AXO Sorority Sister and Geri Cruz Smith who succumbed to breast cancer.  May their light shine on in me.

For the last three years, I have been a Top Fundraiser and I am hoping to do the same this year.  Thank you for making a donation to Komen's Mission of ending breast cancer forever.

Love, 

Melanie Brammer Kilgore
