THROUGH TODAY, TOMORROW. WELL, TODAY’S GOOD NEWS FILE IN INSPIRING MESSAGE FROM AN ALBUQUERQUE WOMAN WHO KNOWS NEXT YEAR REALLY IS NOT PROMISED TO HER. SHE’S BATTLING CANCER AND SHE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO SIT BACK AND TAKE ON THIS FIGHT QUIETLY. BUT LANCE SENA IS DOING QUITE THE OPPOSITE. WELL, HE ASKED ME, WELL, WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE DO YOU WANT? YOU WANT THE FULL EXPERIENCE OR YOU WANT KIND OF AN EASY GOING. LANCE SENA IS BATTLING STAGE FOUR HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHE PICKED. WHEN SHE WENT SKYDIVING? I THOUGHT I WAS CALLED FAIL. SO WE DID SOME TRICKS. WE SPUN IN THE AIR FOR A BIT AND WE DID A 62ND FREEFALL. SAINA MAY BE A FAMILIAR FACE AND NAME TO YOU.

SHE SAID THAT SHE HAS FRIENDS GOING THROUGH SIMILAR BATTLES OVER THE YEARS. THEY WEREN’T LUCKY TO HAVE THEIR CANCER GO INTO REMISSION. SO SHE’S JUST KEEPING THIS OPTIMISTIC VIEW. AND IT I
