Survivor Story: Marilyn May
 Marilyn May was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1997 after seeing two different radiologists and surgeons to find the care and treatment that felt right for her. Seventeen years and two additional cancer diagnoses later, Marilyn simply refuses to let metastatic breast cancer keep her from living a full life. Whether traveling across the globe or sharing her passion for art with her students, Marilyn fights her battle by squeezing the most joy out of every single day. "I've already gone through two or three bucket lists," says Marilyn, a retired schoolteacher who lives in Ventura and also teaches English as a Second Language. Click here for Marilyn's story.
