A two-time breast cancer survivor in Lake Charles guides others through diagnosis

Nancy Thomas, a two-time breast cancer survivor in Lake Charles, spends her time with people who have just been diagnosed. KPLC named her a Hometown Hero. She organizes walks and helps with practical things: gas vouchers, wigs, and mammograms.

She is not offering a cure. She is offering company and the costs that show up around treatment, from someone who has been through the diagnosis twice.
