Survivor says advances in treatment let her see her kids grow up continued from p.4 78. In the middle of her treatment, she was also diagnosed with breast cancer. "I don't think there's anyone among us who hasn't either been diagnosed or who has had a first level relative like a mother, father, child, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or dear friend who has been diagnosed," said Hodkinson. "It's not something that is remote to any of us." For her, she continues to view her cancer diagnosis as a "game changer" that transformed her perspective on life. She doesn't "sweat the small stuff" and is grateful for her health and the life she is able to lead. "I remember when I was diagnosed I took a fairly aggressive approach to both my surgery and treatment and it was because I had to see my girls out of high school. They were only seven and nine," said Hodkinson. She also feared she wouldn't be able to help them choose what university they would want to attend or be a part of any other major life decisions. Today, Hodkinson is remarried and has been able to not only watch her two daughters, who are 25 and 22 now, grow, but also her two step sons, who are 24 and 27. "Getting together with all our 20-somethings now is very joyous and to think that I wouldn't have ever known my sons if something had gone wrong all those years ago, that I would've never known them is a weird thought," she said. From time to time, the worry of the cancer coming back resurfaces, especially when she hears of people who have had a recurrence of 7 | Thursday, October 27, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com cancer after 18 years. "It hits you every once in a while," she describes, adding that despite those feelings, she generally keeps a positive outlook on life. Taking charge of her own health and getting involved in breast cancer awareness has been helping her move forward in life.
