Four-time cancer survivor keeps positive outlook on life

Alais Salvador was diagnosed with Stage 3B brain cancer in 2009 but was considered in remission after two successful surgeries. Her daughters were 9 and 4 at the time and she was relieved to know she would live to see them grow up.

In 2018, the Winter Garden resident received news that the tumor had returned — again, Stage 3B. It was treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. A year later, she was diagnosed with Stage 3B cancer of the colon. This June, doctors told her she had Stage 1 lung cancer, which was treated with surgery. All have been unrelated, she said, which is a blessing.

Once again, she has beaten the disease — choosing to remain positive and putting all her trust in God.

“I have believed in God, but I think (the diagnoses) drew me closer to Him, and so it’s kind of just given me peace, believing and realizing that He is God and He can do miracles — and I feel like that is what he has done for me,” Salvador said. “He has given me healing and a blessing in my life that I can share with other people.”
