'Cancer Didn't Have Me'
In the dedication she wrote for her doctoral dissertation, Jody Worth concluded with these words: “I had cancer. Cancer didn’t have me.” Worth was in the midst of writing that dissertation when she was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in February 2017. It was devastating news for Worth, who faithfully had annual mammograms done after her mother and grandmother both battled breast cancer. She opted for a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery and underwent five surgeries in seven months. Worth successfully defended her dissertation on Oct. 24 of this year and, just a few days later, received even better news – the results of blood work and a bone scan showed that she is cancer-free. With her family in attendance Tuesday night, Worth received her Doctorate in Teacher Leadership from Kennesaw State University. – December 13, 2018
