November 25, 2025 – Sulphur Springs, Texas – November marks one year of the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s Breast Cancer Support Group. Meetings have become a network of encouragement and resources for women who have or have had cancer.
Women who have had any type of cancer, not just breast cancer, are invited to attend meetings on the second Monday of each month at 5:30 p.m. in the Medical Plaza, 113 Airport Rd. The group has expanded as a response to community need.
November’s meeting welcomed Tracy Kelley, local author of “Living Loved”, as the guest speaker. She shared about her personal battle with skin cancer, and her mother, Dinah Stille, shared about her miraculous recovery from breast cancer.
In honor of Thanksgiving, Tracy highlighted the meaning of gratitude. “Gratitude is not dependent on circumstances. When we can look at the worst thing in our lives and say ‘I’m thankful even for that’, that is true gratitude.”
Tracy commended the support group ladies for the community they have built. “By gathering around the very thing that tried to destroy you, that’s a powerful way of saying ‘I’m not going to let this isolate me, I’m not going to let it win.’”
The next meeting of the support group will be December 8 at the same time and place. Keep up with support group news and all offerings of the Foundation by following on Facebook and Instagram. To reach the Foundation office, call (903) 438-4799 or email [email protected].
