My name is Joyce and I was born in Missouri, but raised in Aurora,Illinois(about 35 miles west of Chicago)anyway as you can see by my ribbon that I'm fighting thyroid cancer and until now it just didn't seem like such a big problem I go and have surgery they remove the knot in my throat and that will take care of my cancer.Well come to find out I still have cancer(Medullary Cancer)and now I'm facing another surgery and from that point I'm not sure. I will not give up for I am a fighter anyway enough of cancer talk more about the good point's in my life.I have worked in factory's most of my life and that is how I met my husband(David). We were married in 1990. We have a son(Eric)together and he has a daughter(Brittany).There is one person that is very important part of my life(from the day she was born) and that is Lora Sue.I will always be forever grateful to her mom.
