Krissy White has faced two moments in her life that could have ended very differently.
Years before breast cancer, a life-threatening pregnancy left Krissy fighting for her life and her daughter in critical condition. Doctors later told her that another ten minutes could have changed everything.
Years later, Krissy was diagnosed with breast cancer and learned she would face an aggressive treatment plan that included chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.
Looking back on both experiences, Krissy says:
“I cheated death twice.”
That realization eventually led to a bigger question:
Why am I still here?
