I think all of us know how motivational it can be when we have a goal in mind and want to achieve it. Nobody knows this better than Tennie Ivy, a 97-year-old grandmother who was diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only was she diagnosed with breast cancer at the ripe age of 97, but it also occurred during the pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It seemed as if it was a one-two punch that would\u2019ve taken many people down, but Ivy saw things differently. You see, her grandchild\u2019s wedding was coming up and she didn\u2019t want to miss it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In speaking with a local news station<\/a>, she said: \u201cI had to go to that wedding. I had been to all three and it was in Greenville, South Carolina, and I said I\u2019ve got to get well for that. And I was never sick. No problems.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to deal with the situation, she had surgery, along with chemotherapy and radiation. In the end, she gives credit to the \u201cdoctors, nurses, and the Lord.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The great news is, as of October 11, she is cancer-free.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

She also has some memories from the wedding that was delayed due to the pandemic, but she was there with a smile on her face.<\/span><\/p>\n
