She recounts pushing for more testing, enduring chemotherapy that didn’t work, undergoing RAMPS surgery, and finding out her tumor had a rare RET fusion mutation. Darla opens up about the fear of recurrence, the challenges of recovery, and how her faith gave her strength when nothing else could. Her story is a call to trust your instincts and advocate for early detection. Thank you, Darla, for sharing your story to help others.
