RESOURCES FROM WHEELCHAIR USERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY BATTLING OR HAVE BEATEN CANCER
Karen Roy is a brand ambassador for Numotion and a passionate advocate for wheelchair users and people with disabilities.
The 53-year-old uses a wheelchair as a result of a gunshot wound while being robbed 34 years ago.
She was diagnosed with bladder cancer in the
fall of 2021.
She caught her cancer in the early stages but faces a long treatment regimen.
She travels more than four hours from her home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Houston, for treatment at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Roy receives a version of the tuberculosis vaccine that is injected into the bladder to break through the cancer cells.
The treatments take two hours and
are done every six weeks.
