If you want to know what it means to come through a test with a powerful
testimony, meet 43-year-old Epilepsy and Breast Cancer survivor, Andrea Nugent.
Recently featured in the Miami Herald, CBS News and Women’s Health Magazine, her
triumphant story is one of courage, and turning pain into purpose.
Andrea
was diagnosed with Epilepsy at 27 and at 39, doctors found cancer in Andrea’s
breast, ovary and lymphatic system. She was too sick to care for her then
2-year-old son (now 6), Zachary Nelson. But her large Caribbean family rallied
around her and supported Andrea through her rough ordeal.
She knows
everyone isn’t so fortunate. That’s why through Andrea Nugent’s nonprofit
organization, B.i.o.n.i.c. Girls Inc. (Beauty is Optional: Newer Improved
Changed), she provides free transportation, household cleaning, and more to
breast cancer patients who need help so desperately.
To raise money to
support her wonderful efforts, Andrea has published a children’s book, Mommy is
Still Mommy: Cancer Can't Change That. “Breast cancer is not a death sentence,”
Andrea Nugent told Women’s Health Magazine when asked the one thing she wants
women to know.
She is living proof that the disease can become
inspiration to fuel your life’s purpose. For more information about Andrea visit
