FULL TEXT:
WHEREAS, Denise Marshall of Cedar Park has inspired all who know her by surviving stage IV lung cancer for the past nine years; and WHEREAS, In 2014, Ms. Marshall received the devastating news that she had stage IV non-small cell lung cancer, one of the deadliest types of cancer; though she was given less than a 10 percent chance of living for another year, she greatly surpassed doctors' expectations, and even after opting to discontinue traditional treatment in 2016, she benefited from new targeted therapy options that helped her return from a 10-month stint in hospice care; and WHEREAS, Ms. Marshall worked in radiology and mammography for more than 30 years while raising her daughter as a single mother; today, she is advocating for lung cancer awareness, increased research funding, and expanded screening to all who are considered to be at high risk for developing lung cancer; and WHEREAS, Having persevered through tremendous adversity, Denise Marshall has dedicated herself to providing hope to others who are battling cancer, and it is fitting that she be recognized for her remarkable grace, courage, and resilience; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas Legislature hereby congratulate Denise Marshall as she celebrates her ninth year of beating stage IV lung cancer and extend to her sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Ms. Marshall as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
