Leisha Yasol, 37, strives to make memories for her two twin boys Morgan and William, 9. Leisha is trying to make the best of the time she has left with her children. She was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer at the age of 34. Her first surgery removed all of her breast tissue and all of the lymph nodes from her left arm. Afterwards she had both ovaries removed as well as numerous rounds of chemotherapy and radiation. Even though her cancer is in remission right now, she believes that, like most who are diagnosed with such an advanced stage cancer, it will eventually come back. Leisha lives every day for her boys and pushes herself through the pain to care for them.
