“I’ve had ovarian, cervical, and breast cancer, and then, this time, with breast cancer,” Wendy told NBC’s Alabama affiliate WSFA in an interview published June 19. “He was told that he has stage four prostate cancer, and then, within a week later, I was told that my breast cancer had come back for a second time, and it is also stage four, because it had spread to other areas of my body.”
As for what constantly inspires Wendy—who shares four adult children with her husband—to keep fighting the disease with a positive attitude? Well, her family is her biggest motivator.
“It’s my kids,” she explained. “I’m not done seeing them grow. I’m not done seeing them graduate high school, or continue the legacy of us, so, that’s my strength: showing them that no matter what you’re faced with, you have to meet it head on and do the best you can, and if you can’t you’re going to go down fighting.”
