|
WHEREAS, Denise Marshall of Cedar Park has inspired all who |
|
know her by surviving stage IV lung cancer for the past nine years; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, In 2014, Ms. Marshall received the devastating news |
|
that she had stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, one of the |
|
deadliest types of cancer; though she was given less than a 10 |
|
percent chance of living for another year, she greatly surpassed |
|
doctors' expectations, and even after opting to discontinue |
|
traditional treatment in 2016, she benefited from new targeted |
|
therapy options that helped her return from a 10-month stint in |
|
hospice care; and |
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Marshall worked in radiology and mammography |
|
for more than 30 years while raising her daughter as a single |
|
mother; today, she is advocating for lung cancer awareness, |
|
increased research funding, and expanded screening to all who are |
|
considered to be at high risk for developing lung cancer; and |
|
WHEREAS, Having persevered through tremendous adversity, |
|
Denise Marshall has dedicated herself to providing hope to others |
|
who are battling cancer, and it is fitting that she be recognized |
|
for her remarkable grace, courage, and resilience; now, therefore, |
|
be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Denise Marshall as she celebrates |
|
her ninth year of beating stage IV lung cancer and extend to her |
|
sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Ms. Marshall as an expression of high regard by the |
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
