Finding Joy and Gratitude after Overcoming Breast Cancer

We close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month and enter the season of gratitude. Stephanie Norvell, a San Diego Country Estates homeowner, local business owner, and Ramona Archway Association Board of Directors member, shares her journey of overcoming breast cancer and the ways it has improved her life.

In 2020, Stephanie was diagnosed with breast cancer. "We were driving out to our river house in Arizona, and I got a phone call notifying me that I had breast cancer," says Stephanie. "We pulled the truck over to the side of the road and were in shock." She adds that she felt very healthy at the time.
