Back in May, Maria announced on ABC 6/FOX 28 a regular checkup found her breast cancer had returned. She’s been taking time off from ABC 6/FOX 28 after mastectomy surgery. She first beat the disease a little more than 12 years ago and has been an advocate for early detection.
While being honored at the luncheon, she once again stressed the importance of getting regular checks up and appropriate exams. “It’s that early detection – that’s why I’m here,” she told the crowd. “My cancer didn’t spread.”
