Her Spotlight: Sonya Hall

SURVIVOR SPOTLIGHT SONYA HALL

How old were you when you found out you had breast cancer?

51 years-old How did you find your cancer? Annual Mammogram

What treatments did you have and how long did that take?

Lumpectomy and Radiation treatments How long have you been cancer free? 15 months

How has cancer changed your life? I always thought I was a grateful person, but I am ever more grateful for the smallest things and the time I spend with my family.

What advice would you give to others who may be dealing

with their own cancer journey? Breathe; Be strong. God does not make mistakes and you must hold onto HIS promises. He has a purpose and plan and God’s plans are always PERFECT.

Did you have any books, quotes, or routines that helped you

through your cancer journey? The Bible – I held onto Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.” I had just changed jobs after 14 years. I was determined to not let this diagnosis consume me. I got up every day during radiation determined to go to work (radiation was 2x daily). I didn’t miss one day of work during radiation. I kept up my daily routines.
