It's been nine years since Elinor Wimmer of West Hills promised her family she was going to make it through the painful chemotherapy treatments and beat breast cancer. At her next job, in Betty Herman's dress shop, nearby, she learned "a lot about how to treat people," as well as the mantra she still lives by: "There should not be anything you can't get your hands around and do"--a message reinforced, she says, when she beat breast cancer at age 37. Nisenholtz founded the "Westside Challenge to Beat Breast Cancer" to provide funding to support a low cost mammography program. |
