Lodi Councilwoman JoAnne Mounce free of cancer after four months of treatment

Posted: Wednesday, August 17, 2011 12:00 am | Updated: 9:20 am, Wed Aug 17, 2011.

Almost four months after finding out she had lung cancer, Councilwoman JoAnne Mounce received the news on Monday that she is cancer-free.

“I had the power of belief behind me, and I just kept telling myself all along that all this pain and misery would be worth it in the end. So I got the answer I was expecting,” Mounce said.

How Awesome for you! Attitude has so much to do with healing. You were Blessed and I will continue to send prayers your way. I lost my husband to cancer last year. You might remember meeting him, Arnie Gardetto? Jesse Barnett's step dad?
Have a Great Month!
