When Jamaican Olympic sprinter Novlene Williams-Mills was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, the then-30-year-old athlete was just weeks away from competing in the 2012 Olympics in London. She was devastated, but she managed to get back on track — literally. In a new interview with SurvivorNet, the Olympic athlete explained how she stayed motivated to keep competing throughout the cancer journey.
Williams-Mills, now 37, is currently embarking on a new adventure — she just gave birth to twins earlier this month. She took some time out of her new mom schedule to share some wisdom she learned along the way after her diagnosis, recovery and subsequent return to the Olympic track with the SurvivorNet community.
