About our guest:

Rhonda Holmes is a resilient individual who has faced significant challenges with remarkable courage. Her journey took an unexpected turn when her medical condition, astonishingly, returned at stage 0, a rarity that left doctors baffled. Despite the typical aggressive recurrence, Rhonda's experience was different, which she attributes to divine intervention and faith. Throughout this period, she faced financial hardships, having lost her job and medical insurance. This left her unable to afford necessary medical tests beyond basic mammograms, tests like biopsies and scans that were financially out of reach. Rhonda's story is one of hope and determination in the face of adversity, serving as an inspiration to many.
