"The surgeon advised me to cut off my breast but I did not want that at all, I did research about recovery and I knew it wasn't for me," said Jean Weirich Wiggil.
"I was teaching a class at the time and I'll never forget I had to tell my students. There were three of them and one burst into tears. She told me: 'You know, I knew a lady who had cancer and she said she was going to die and she did'. I told her that's not going to be me and I'm still here," says Jean.
