Working with UT Southwestern, Misti had a bilateral mastectomy followed by chemo and then a hysterectomy. At each stage during this challenging process she found hope: in her doctors, in her nurses, and, finally, as of March 2018, in her remission. And now hope has taken on a different meaning yet again. Says Misti, “Hope feels like brushing my kids’ hair. Hope is the laughter that I get from my kids, the laughter I give to my kids. Hope is living.”
