CHEATHAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — These days it seems like we all know someone who's coping with -- or has beaten -- breast cancer.
From family members to friends, women who face that scary diagnosis are often encouraged by those who've been there before. One community in Cheatham County is no different.
Our colleague photojournalist Angie Dones who is also a breast cancer survivor shares their special story.

This story by Aaron Cantrell reminds me of my first school in Dyersburg, TN. I was a student at Bruce School from Kindergarten to second grade until the school system was integrated. My parents graduated from this K-12 school in 1960 in one of the city's African American communities. After sitting empty for several years, part of the school was demolished while the rest was renovated and now serves as a community center for the Bruce community in Dyersburg. A local pastor is now trying to do something similar in the Cemetery community in Rutherford Co.
