“I have 4 beautiful grandbabies, and I want to be here for every single one of them, so that’s my goal. One is only going to be 1 in July, and so yeah, I got a lot of years yet. I have four beautiful reasons. I have a mother and I have a daughter, and I just feel like I have a bigger purpose than this. This is not the end of my calling. I have a bigger purpose.”
Roberta “Bobby” Olesen was diagnosed with metaplastic carcinoma in June 2020. It is a fast growing breast cancer that makes up less than 1% of all breast cancers. Bobby was quickly thrown into chemotherapy in July, and had surgery to remove the lump in December. However, there were still cancer cells in that lump so she is still finishing chemotherapy. Luckily, she has an amazing community of family and friends and a persisting positive attitude that has supported her throughout her cancer experience.
