In Loving Memory of Mother Dorothy Starks
Mother Dorothy Starks - Class of 2021
Mother Dorothy Starks (AKA Dot) born on February 12,1939 in Alabama and received her wings on July 25, 2022. Mother Starks was the oldest of her 12 siblings and at the age of 12, she received The Baptism of the Holy Ghost when Bishop C. H. Mason laid heads on her as he was just walking by. The anointing fell on her and to this day she walks in the prophetic gift. Dorothy married Coy James Starks, on June 30th in 1961. Their union was blessed with 4 talented and anointed children 3 boys and 1 girl and they all serve in the ministry currently. James was called to pastor which landed Dorothy to be
The First Lady of Prayer Tabernacle COGIC, where she served closely to her husband. Mother Starks was a firm believer of the scripture, "whatever your hands fines to do, do it"….she served for many years in so many different capacities from driving the church van picking up the saints, to locking the doors after service was over, reading a scripture, cleaning the bathroom, preaching and teaching the word Dorothy covered it all, naturally sweet soft spoken, but she’s made a lot of noise the kingdom. Dorothy served right beside her husband until God called him home May 14, 2019 Missionary Dorothy Starks was a strong Virtuous woman.

(Class of 2022)
After the pandemic, I didn't go for my high-risk breast MRI in 2021. I was supposed to be screened every six months. In January of 2022, I experienced pain in my left breast and I immediately went to Henry Ford's walk-in clinic. The doctor did a breast exam and felt the lump. He ordered a test for a mammogram and breast ultrasound. I was diagnosed on March 3rd with Lobular breast cancer and Malignant neoplasm Her 2 negative both in the left breast. Atypical lobular hyperplasia of the right breast. I had six rounds of chemo and on August 23, 2022, I had a double mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and lymph nodes removed.
I'm a survivor walking in faith.
Tammy
(Class of 2022)
I have been getting mammograms every year since 1996, (I was 29) due to my father being diagnosed with BC at age 55, he passed away in January 2001. I was 47, married, with 4 kids. A Sophomore in High School, an 8th, 6th, and 5th grader, when I was diagnosed with Er/Pr+, Her2neu-, Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Invasive Lobular Carcinoma, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, Lobular Carcinoma in Situ, in the right breast. Lobular Carcinoma in Situ in my left breast, and Metastatic Carcinoma, 1/6 nodes.
I was faithful with my mammograms until my husband retired in 2013, and we lost our health insurance. So, I skipped it. In 2014, the Affordable Care Act came into effect allowing then-Governor Rick Snyder to expand Michigan`s Medicaid program, which I qualified for. In that one year, I had noticed a lump, where there was a 27-year-old scar, and a dimple under my right nipple. I got myself to my doctor, he ordered a mammogram and told me not to worry about the lump, it was most likely scar tissue. I got my mammogram on July 10, 2014, they also did an ultrasound. I had the biopsies, yes, the lump was biopsied, on July 11, 2014. They were not all that concerned about about the lump because it was up near the chest wall and "Most likely, scar tissue.". I received the phone call that both biopsies came back positive for cancer on July 14, 2014. Double mastectomy on August 25, 2014. 6 rounds of chemotherapy, Cytoxan & Taxotere, from September 29, 2014 to January 12, 2015. DIEP reconstruction was started on April 12, 2015 and finally finished on January 20, 2020. I was also diagnosed with Aloepecia secondary to Chemotherapy in March of 2016.
I currently am in remission and will be declared "Cancer Free" in February 2025!

Life after cancer diagnosis l must say has been rough on me. Between chemotherapy, radiation, double mastectomy many surgeries, and everything else that’s attached to this horrible disease led to many side effects. My body is beat down mentally and physically.

Markita
(Class of 2021)
How did you find out you had breast cancer? My left breast had been extremely sore. I was able to feel a large lump, two weeks later I had a mammogram at Beaumont Royal Oak, then a biopsy in February 2020. What was your reaction? I can remember sudden panic anxiety and body went limp … It was Invasive Ductal Carcinoma and HER 2 Positive that required chemo and hormonal therapy. I don’t think anyone can be prepared to be told you have cancer. I questioned why me. What treatment methods did you undergo? My journey plan included chemotherapy, double mastectomy and 14 rounds of hormonal therapy. I read a lot and inquired from other cancer survivors about their experiences. With my first and second chemo, I did suffer with weakness, hair loss and appetite loss. How has your illness affected your perspective on life? I recommend sticking to a daily routine. I had to accept that I was now the patient and had to let others care for me … My faith in my family and it only became strong
Nakita
(Class of 2021)
On March 19th I was diagnosed with breast cancer after going in for a mammogram following my twin sister diagnosis of breast cancer as well.It was very shocking I thought when my twin told me the news that was enough bad news; then who knew a month later I would be diagnosed. The only thing that bothered me was knowing that my twin treatment would be different than mine and way more stressful. I didn’t have to get chemo or radiation, but I had to have a double mastectomy. That very hard for me to go through with it, but I had to do what I had to do…going to the doctor every week was a strain. But watching my twin go through her treatment was very hard but she took it like a champ.

(Class of 2021)
Hi my name is Erika Davis, I was diagnosed with breast cancer September 2020.
That diagnosis came two months before my 50th birthday, two months after my younger cousin’s diagnosis and two months before my oldest cousin diagnosis.
I never had a chance to fear cancer because I was already trusting God for a cure for all of us.
My medical team told me the chemo treatment I was taken was nicknamed the red devil, and I told them I will call it the blood of Jesus.
I rung the bell to celebrate my conquering cancer on April 22nd, sharing with me was two daughters, my parents, family and church friends.
I praise God that once I completed chemo and underwent a double mastectomy it has been an all clear.
God is a healer of all and my trust will continue to lay within him. Glory Be to God!!

October 15th will be my 3rd chemo treatment. I was scared at first because all I was worried about was my Little Lady. I wasn't thinking about myself. I had a talk with God and He came to me and saying, "Erica you over came so much in your life, you have to do this for you and your children"!
I wanted to break down because I felt like I didn't have nobody, and that I was alone going through this journey alone. I looked up different groups that gave me positive vibes good word encouragement I'm so thankful group like LB-TBC, SUCH AN AWESOME GROUP!

(Class of 2020)
Hi everyone, I am Beverly Hollis 61, WOG, wife, mother, grandmother , auntie & friend. I have 4 sons , a grandmother to 11 & great grandmother to 1.
Last year in July of 2020, I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, which is very aggressive. Very scary when you get this news. It took me a while to process. Once I did, the journey began. Well of course, this journey begins always with much prayer & trust in God, because without Him we can't do anything.
I met with a team of doctors & received the treatment plan they had, which was chemo, surgery & radiation . Along with much prayer. We all know this could have gone a another way, but God!!
After the chemo, I went in for an ultrasound to see if the chemo shrunk the tumor. The first one they said it's responding, its shrinking. Still not out of the woods yet, but a good report! I continued chemo, afterwards I did a 2nd ultrasound. They could not find any cancer, she kept checking, no cancer! The doctors said I had a complete response to the chemo. They did radiation & removed the tissue where the tumor was, but no cancer.
All glory to my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for healing my body & making me whole, again! I am so grateful and thankful to Jesus! All blessings flow from Him & through this whole process it was Him, who saw me through this entire process. It was not an easy journey and I'm still healing from the process of the treatment but I am so thankful for another chance at this life, on this side! Hallelujah!
I'll leave you guys with this: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not towards your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge him & He shall direct your path ! God is a HEALER! Be encouraged in the Lord!

My name is Darleen Marie White. I am the proud mom of three wonderful children. My journey started with my routine yearly mammogram that I have not missed since I’ve began 20 years ago. They spotted something as they have done in previous years; we all thought it was going to be dense tissue as it has been previously. After an ultrasound and biopsy, I received the bone chilling news that it is the big C. I am grateful for the fast-moving process and early detection. I had my first surgery in April. Three days later I received another call to say the mass was much larger than expected, and I was rescheduled for a second surgery in May. I am currently undergoing radiation treatments, which is a huge task within itself. I am not complaining – completely grateful that I do not have to have chemo infusions. The doctors have suggested taking Tamoxifen pills (which is a 5-year chemo treatment) but I am opting out of that. I am completely confident that radiation will complete this process for me.

My name is Claudia. I'm blessed to be five years past cancer on my right side and four years past on my left. I evicted Mort and Marty (yes, I named them) and since then I am learning to live with my new body. It has been a challenging journey and I continue to have pain that is a constant reminder of the warrior I have become. Because of this journey with breast cancer twice, I have found new confidence in my ability to overcome any challenges I may face. I identify with the Phoenix that has risen from the ashes. I even named my new business Phoenix Tax. I have found that there is life after cancer. I particularly enjoy finding solace in gardening my back yard which I call Giverny, named after my favorite artist, Claude Monet's home in France. I ground myself daily when I take off my shoes and feel the earth under my feet. I am now slowing down and smelling the flowers. I think that quote was written by a cancer patient who has learned to appreciate the small things. Moving forward, I feel it is my mission to inform people about the importance of genetic testing (if there is a family history of ovarian and/or breast cancer) and getting yearly mammograms. In my case, I missed my mammogram appointment because I was busy taking care of my business and my family. By the time I rescheduled, my breast cancer was at stage 2. Looking back, I wish I would have made my health a priority at that time. Additionally, had I known about genetic testing, I could have better prepared myself about my chances of getting cancer and made an educated decision regarding my health. If I could help even just one person to get checked, my mission will be accomplished because early detection saves lives. You take care of everyone else and your health should be a priority.

I looked at my self after the chemo took all of my long and short hair, and I thought to myself as the prayer warriors went to the Lord God of Israel in prayer for my strength, I saw deep into my self preservation. I knew the devil is and was a lier and the truth ain't in him. I may have looked strange, but I had peace within my heart and mind.

My name Latoya Jolly, 34 years young, full of life. Having a difficult pregnancy with unusual symptoms that doctors tell me this pregnancy is not causing. Had my daughter on June 18, 2018 came home with her June 21 just for me to be readmitted later that night for three days. Doctors had to run test on me because my legs and feet were big as elephant trunks, hurt, black and hard. Still had shortness of breath because of fluid on my lungs due to my heart working harder then it should have to (heart failure). The doctors kept asking was I healthy before the pregnancy and yes I was. One doctor said, so you were never diagnosed with cancer before? No, should I be worried about cancer? He said just rest, we are running test, you will feel better before you leave here. God had already looked out for his daughter( me). By the third day my heart was beating correctly, no sign of heart failure, no blood clots though my legs, swollen went down in feet and legs, fluid on lungs almost completely gone!!
I was nursing my baby when I felt a lump on my left breast. I didn't think much of it, maybe a duct gland with a built up of milk. I promised my doctor I would go get it biopsied on in mid July of 2018. In August of 2018, I received the news that it was breast cancer and that it was aggressive which is the reason why it got so big so fast.
After I was over numbness, disbelief, and allowing myself to be scared that I was going to leave my daughter due to this disease, I started writing her letters, to let her know how much I love her, I realized I was giving this thing too much credit. I had to tell this disease about my God, My source of everything, my miracle worker, and way out of no way. My God has never left me and he most definitely will not leave me now. I stand firm on his promise, and my answer is Yes, I trust you Lord. I choose to praise my way through and depend on Gods word. I called myself a survivor while I was going through the test because I had already won the battle. With God by my side who should I fear, nothing or nobody. 3 biopsy's Lots of test
