Susan Leichter is a big fan of Halloween. Every year, she decorates her house inside and out. And even though this year has the real-life scare of battling breast cancer, Leichter has made it the most epic Halloween yet.<\/span>In June, Leichter was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer. She has undergone intense chemotherapy sessions<\/a> that leave her exhausted, and still has radiation treatments yet to get through.<\/span>However, not decorating her house because she has cancer was not an option.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: YouTube\/FOX4 News Kansas City<\/span>\u201cThere was never a question,\u201d Leichter said. \u201cAs soon as my diagnosis was done, I kind of used that as my excuse to buy extra stuff. My son calls it my cancer card.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>Leichter\u2019s house is fondly known as the \u201cHalloween House<\/a>\u201d in her neighborhood.
