In recognition of National Law Enforcement Day, The Rose invites you to listen to today’s episode with breast cancer survivor, and one of the City of Galveston’s finest, Sgt. Stacy Papillion.

“If your doctor didn’t listen to you, you need to find another doctor.”

Those are the words of Stacy.

Affectionately known as “Sergeant Pap,” Stacy knows a thing or two about breast cancer. She beat it twice. The second time around was a battle she fought alongside her mother, who was also diagnosed.

During this episode, Dorothy and Stacy discuss her journey, how her community of peers rallied around her, what it was like to fight breast cancer while her mother was fighting it, too, and so much more.
