By Breaking Belize News Staff: House Speaker Valerie Woods told the House of Representatives on her birthday Thursday that she has had no evidence of cancer for one year and five months.
Woods shared the milestone just before adjourning the sitting. She recalled that the last time she presided over the House on her birthday, she announced that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
“So today, I won’t announce my age. That is not the number I’m interested in,” Woods said. “I’m more interested in that I am now one year, five months with no evidence of disease.”
She thanked fellow cancer patients and survivors, as well as colleagues, friends and family, for their support. Woods also recently spoke publicly about The Hope Hour, an initiative that grew out of conversations among cancer patients and survivors who wanted to support others.
