Taffy Wehe adamantly stated she feels robbed.
For the past 14 years, the Wylie mom has been waging a battle with cancer while raising four children who, at the time of her diagnosis, were ages 2, 4, 6 and 8.
In Oct. 2006, Wehe was diagnosed with myxoid round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS).
“I felt terrified. It hits you like a brick wall. You never think it will happen to you, I still don’t,” Wehe said.
At the time, the young mother had resection surgery to remove the orange-sized tumor which was pressing on her sciatic nerve causing severe pain followed by chemo and radiation. The incision went from four inches above her knee to just below her waistline.
