Remission. It’s a place filled with hope as much as it brings anxiety. But that’s where Connie Phillips is and she won’t mince words when she says every day she lives fully aware that she may die.
“And that’s why I see everyone around me as an inspiration,” the 48-year-old South Lake Tahoe breast cancer survivor says. “They may not think they are, but they are.”
If you’ve visited Sierra Athletic Club, located in the South Shore’s Tahoe Keys lately, you’ve probably been the recipient of a contagious smile from Phillips, the gym manager. A Stage 3 breast cancer survivor, Phillips has been a cheerleader and true inspiration to hundreds of women in South Lake Tahoe.
