Breast Cancer Survivors Form Choir

By Sara Story
DENTON, TX -- A North Texas choir made up of breast cancer survivors is warming up for its debut performance at the Denton Race for the Cure on Saturday.  "Our first performance is Saturday. I can't believe it!" said breast cancer survivor Jan Marshall.  As the women practice, their routine is more than the notes they hit. It's about a journey that each of them has been through. Marshall came up with the idea for the survivor choir.

"We can sing and laugh and enjoy life again. Even though, at the time you are going through it, you don't think you ever will," Marshall said.  The survivor choir started practicing just a few weeks ago; however, they are bonded by similar stories and a knack for music.
