She spoke openly about her ongoing battle, saying, “I have been living with cancer for decades now, using the best of alternative and conventional medicine to keep it at bay. Every time that little f—– pops up, I continue to bat it back.”
Suzanne’s words resonated with millions of cancer patients worldwide. She served as an inspiration, showing that life can be beautiful, even in the face of such a formidable adversary. Her enduring positivity and gratitude were evident when she said, “As one of millions of cancer patients, we do our best not to let this insidious disease control us. I find bliss in each day. My husband has been by my side every step of the way, and my family has been so supportive. Thank you for the outpouring of love and good wishes.”
