 CHECK OUT Spokane Chiefs Fight Cancer Night 2023

We’re honored to parter with the Spokane Chiefs Hockey Team for one night of their season. It’s a great game night, and they introduce a cancer warrior to share their story. This year’s warrior is a Navy vet, a mom and an all around tough broad. Meet Tracy Brumley who is with her two daughters Jesse and Cheyenne, Dr. Stephanie Moline of Cancer Care Northwest and Inland Imaging’s Jeanette Jolley.

Tracy Brumley is a Breast Cancer and real-life Warrior.

Tracy served in the Navy as an Aviation Boatswain's Mate and directed aircraft on the USS Kittyhawk. She was stationed in Japan and traveled most of Asia before she was 20. She spent seven months in the Persian Gulf during Operation Freedom, and she holds the distinction as being one of the first 200 hundred women to be forward deployed. 

It's no surprise then that she would face cancer as her radiologist put it, “as one tough broad.”

 A mammogram at Thanksgiving lead to a phone call to schedule a biopsy. Three days before Christmas that year she got the call with the words that change a life – “you have cancer.”

 She quickly went into prep mode for her life and tried to plan for all of life’s “what if” moments. She is grateful for her support team -- her husband Mike took control of their schedule and world; their two girls Jesse and Cheyenne helped shave her head and help as needed; her mom Crystal sat with her during treatment with socks and a blanket as the medicines made her shiver; and her mother-in-law June lends her hands as well.

 She says she’s still here thanks to the love and support of all her friends and family.

Her treatment journey includes a mastectomy, radiation and several rounds of chemotherapy where she met her cancer buddy Tracy Clift. Not only did they share a name, they shared a diagnosis and treatment plan. Tracy wants us to honor her buddy who is no longer with us and lives on in our memories. Both families are here tonight to pay them tribute.

Tracy is sharing her experience tonight to stand up for those who are in the cancer fight. She wants each of you and your families to know that you are not alone.

A mammogram saved her life, and it can save yours too. Know your risks. Know your normal. Ask questions and be your own best advocate.

HOOYAH!
