I'm one of the lucky ones' says Margie, 74, after three cancer battles

Margie, 74, is urging others to check for signs of breast cancer after an early scan saved her life. She has battled disease in her breast, sternum and stomach since her first diagnosis in 2002.

Her health problems began when she needed a double mastectomy following the scan. Three years later, cancer was detected in her chest and then in her stomach in 2019.
