Facing down cancer

| | Comments (0)

Julie Hopple is a hero. Plain and simple.

Anyone who faces cancer and says, "I'm taking you on and I'm going to win," is a hero.

In the October 4 Viewpoints section of the York Sunday News, I wrote about Julie -- President of VNA Home Health -- and how a healthcare professional faces her own healthcare crisis. In Julie's situation it was breast cancer.

Julie has undergone surgery and chemotherapy and has kept her humor throughout the past several months.

Sporting a baseball cap to cover her head, since she lost her hair during chemo, she echoes what a doctor told her: "Baseball caps are very in now."

Julie's a winner ... and a hero.
