There is life after a cancer diagnosis — that’s the message Gina Valvo, 49, wants new cancer patients to see and hear clearly. Valvo hopes sharing her story will inspire many who are faced with a similar life-altering medical report.
Valvo learned she had Stage 4 cancer in May of 2019. Physicians at Loma Linda University Medical Centertold her it started in her left breast and spread to her spine, liver, bones and finally, her left ovary.

To date, the West African nation of Côte d’Ivoire has been largely untouched by the COVID-19 pandemic. Maranatha Volunteers International’s work through local crews has continued uninterrupted, a welcomed sight for church leadership in a country where there are less than 10,000 Adventists.
Maranatha’s first project in Côte d’Ivoire, the Anan Seventh-day Adventist Church, is now complete. A special dedication ceremony will inaugurate the building this summer, performed by the president of the…Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ann-en/~3/YOZ3jaQv-2M/
