Janelle Dolbeare of Barry, Illinois, is always on the go. As a mother and foster mom, she fully embraces her busy lifestyle. Despite juggling numerous appointments for her kids, one appointment she never misses is her annual OB/GYN visit and mammogram.

Being diagnosed with cancer once can be frightening, but facing a second diagnosis can be utterly terrifying. For Jacquie Vaughn of Hannibal, Missouri, this is reality.

After a successful hysterectomy, Deborah Bufford of Bowling Green, Missouri met with Dr. Jennifer Roberts, OB/GYN at Hannibal Regional, for a post-operative appointment. During the appointment, Dr. Roberts suggested that Deborah have a routine mammogram and scheduled her for the following day. The Monday after her mammogram, Deborah received a phone call that the test showed a spot on her left breast. Completely taken by surprise, Deborah immediately felt a sense of fear fall over her.
