By: Bucy | H.R. No. 1264 |
|
||
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. |
