Living Well Beyond Cancer

Last year, Laura Edwards, a wife, mom of three, and an Advanced Academics teacher at Norfolk Christian Schools in Hampton Roads, was faced with the difficult news that she had rectal cancer. She describes the reaction to her diagnosis, given her healthy and active lifestyle, as one of complete shock. Her journey has had its ups and down, but she has relied on her deep faith and unwavering family support to stay positive and hopeful. She shares her story to help encourage others to stay positive, get their screenings early and, for those who are facing cancer, to take advantage of the Sentara Wellness Beyond Cancer program.
