Description

“Can’t never could do nothing.”
Those are the words of the late Bob Domec, one of The Rose’s most cherished supporters and board members.
Our next guest, Terri Snider, remembers those words—the words of her father—quite often, as she battles cancer for the second time. You’ll hear a lot about the importance of positivity during this conversation.
You’ll also hear about her first battle with cancer. Which drives home the importance of questioning one’s doctors and getting a second opinion.
As she battles this second round of cancer, she shares her story and life experiences, which include early trips to the gym and a spot on Pink Phurree, a local dragon boat team.
