Cancer survivor proves doctor wrong

Bible Belt Blogger: Cancer survivor proves doctor wrong

Frank Lockwood

Carolyn Flatt of Morehead was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1998. At the time, doctors doubted she'd last an entire year, let alone make it to the new millennium. But make it she has, savoring every day. While focusing on her health, she has also found time to seek out adventure. Earlier this year, the Flatts attended Sunday School in Plains Georgia. While there, they shook hands with former President Carter, snapping pictures to show their friends in Rowan County.

This week, she marks her 3,000th day as a cancer survivor.
