When Mercedes Mundaca was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer at age 43, her doctor told her she had 4 months to live. That was 6 years ago. “I want to tell everyone going through cancer that there is hope,” says Mundaca. “No matter how bad things may seem, stay strong in faith and press forward. Miracles do exist.”
