Kindergarten teacher Bobbi Davis-Jackson, left, of the Syracuse TA had a double masectomy in 1996 but cancer came back in 1999. Cancer-free for nine years, she's "grateful for every year of it. I've gotten to see two children graduate and six grandkids born. I've got all the research and doctors and nurses of the ACS to thank for that." Arnetta Johnson is on her right.
