Hearing her breast cancer diagnosis was devastating, but her past battles had prepared her for this fight. She recognized it as another challenge to confront, equipped with the lessons learned from previous struggles. With the unwavering support of family and friends, Crystal made difficult decisions that brought her peace. Now, she feels a deep urgency to share her story, helping others navigate their own journeys.
