Stefanie C. NicholasJANUARY 2026 CALENDAR I was diagnosed in April 2022 at the age of 47. I had my first mammogram during the summer of 2021. At that time, I was advised to schedule a re-scan to get a better image. However, it did not seem that this was an urgent suggestion, so I did not immediately...

Sisters' Journey August Survivor of the Month - Gwynn Factor Roberson

The year 2018 was one of the most rewarding, yet challenging, years of my life.

I was 52 years old and at the top of my game in my legal caree r and holding a top position in my friend’s Senate
campaign for the State of Maryland. It was Day 3 of Early Voting and I was driving around town like a chicken with
my head cut off when I got the call from my doctor that the lump they found in my left breast was cancer. As I listened
to her tell me I needed to come in and have my right breast biopsied, just for precaution, I remember saying to myself,
“Girl, you ain’t got time to die this year!” Only to find out a week later that I had a different type of cancer in my right
breast. I then remember thinking, “No Black Jesus, not the tattas!”

The lump had been found through a routine mammogram in June 2018. My doctors at George Washington Hospital
Center were all amazing, from my cancer surgeon and plastic surgeon to my radiologist and hematologist. I had a
mastectomy on the left breast to treat my Stage 1A tumor and a lumpectomy followed by nine weeks of daily radiation on
the right breast. During this time, my boyfriend, Melvin, was an amazing support. He was so patient and is such a
blessing in my life.

Six months later, I started to get my energy back and felt more like my normal self again. I thought to myself, “When
you were diagnosed, you were a triple D, now you are a C cup.Girl, you had been wanting a breast reduction and all you had to
do was get a little cancer. Look at God, won’t He do it!”

At this point, I realized that God allowed me to survive because He had more work for me to do before leaving this earth, and I chose
to laugh through my pain. It was at this point, I decided I wanted to do something that would feed my soul but give back to the world. I
decided to become a stand-up comedian!

Over the past five years, I’ve worked with comedians I never thought I would meet, let alone share a stage with them. I’ve
performed on stages across the country, including the world famous Apollo Theater in Harlem. I’ve been featured in two
movies, both which air on Tubi network.

God has shown me there is no limit to what I can accomplish, and if I can help one person laugh through their pain as I did, I’ve done
my job.
