My name is Freddie Ann Harris, and I am a two-time breast cancer survivor.
When I first heard the words, “you have cancer,” I was terrified. I never imagined this would be my story. The road was not easy—filled with surgeries, treatments, and moments that tested every part of me. Yet even in the hardest seasons, I discovered a strength I didn’t know I had.
Through it all, my mother, Octavia, became my caretaker, and my family stood firmly by my side. My friends surrounded me with love, and prayer warriors I had never even met lifted my name before God. Their prayers, combined with the love of those closest to me, reminded me that I was never truly alone.
My faith anchored me. In my darkest hours, I turned to gospel music and prayer to renew my spirit and hold on to hope. I also clung tightly to Jeremiah 29:11:
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
That promise, along with the strength of family, the faithfulness of friends, and the unseen prayers of many, inspired hope in me when fear tried to take over.
