As Breast Cancer Awareness Month draws to a close, Belizeans have been proudly donning pink to show solidarity with those affected by the disease. The month ended on a triumphant note as Janine Cattouse, a 36-year-old literature and religion teacher, rang the bell at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital’s oncology unit, symbolizing the completion of her breast cancer treatment. Diagnosed with stage two breast cancer in August 2024, Cattouse endured a year of intensive chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy, and radiation. Her journey, marked by resilience and hope, culminated in a heartfelt ceremony attended by family, friends, and her medical team. Cattouse expressed profound gratitude for the unwavering support she received, particularly from the nurses who went above and beyond their duties. As a teacher at St. Catherine Academy, she used her experience to inspire her students, demonstrating courage and faith even on her most challenging days. Cattouse’s story highlights the importance of purpose and perseverance in overcoming life’s toughest battles. She hopes her journey will raise awareness about triple-positive breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease, and encourage others to keep fighting. Through her ordeal, Cattouse’s faith has deepened, reinforcing her belief that with prayer and support, anything is possible.
