That’s when she got the call that she had breast cancer. Hox had spent a portion of her teenage years living with her grandmother while her own mother battled advanced breast cancer, so Hox was silent on the subject until she could find a way back to Charleston to get a second opinion. She was relieved to discover the cancer was at stage zero and underwent a lumpectomy and radiation. She also took medicine for six years, due to her family’s history with breast cancer. Ten years later, she was diagnosed, again with stage zero, and again underwent a lumpectomy and radiation for treatment. Hox was not shocked by her diagnoses, explaining that it was more so a matter of when, not if, based on family feature Sharon Hox was visiting with her mother, Selma, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. » SC & CA Credentialed Teacher » K-12 Mathematics » Over 20 years experience » Located in Mount Pleasant » Online, Private & Group Tutoring » Other subjects upon request Lamorinda Tutoring IS YOUR CHILD READY FOR SCHOOL? 925.708.4213 LamorindaTutoring.com INQUIRE ABOUT A FREE ONLINE DEMO!
