About Dee Pipik

At the age of seventeen, Dee Pipik was diagnosed with bone cancer. She lost her right leg. For the rest of her life she wore a prosthesis.

When she was fifty, Dee developed breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy, intravenous chemo drug and radiological treatments, and long-term drug therapy.

Five years later Dee discovered the cancer had metastasized to her abdomen. Her metastatic breast cancer was controlled by chemo drugs for four years before surfacing for a final time.
