Ten months ago, Pembroke resident Brenda Mastrangelo was diagnosed with a severe case of lung cancer. And although she has been through chemotherapy every month since the time she was diagnosed, doctors gave her one-year to live.

“That means I have two months to live if I’m just another statistic,” said Brenda. I’m sure there are miracles. Maybe I’ll be a miracle. I was given a year to live, last year. That means I have two months left. I’ve done chemo these last 10 months and I had a scan four weeks ago and the chemo hasn’t worked and the cancer has progressed.”
