Dianne's Survival Story
In 1988 Dianne saw her life change completely. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and given 5 years to live. Over the next few months, in the middle of aggressive and devastating cancer treatment, Dianne’s marriage ended and the nonprofit she was working for folded. She was left in the spring of 1989, a single mother with a deadly disease, without a job and without health insurance. So with her signature tenacity she fought her way back. Dianne found a job, secured health care, and is still surviving cancer. Dianne will use the same tenacity with which she fought cancer to tirelessly advocate for her contituents at the Capitol.
Dianne and her friends participated in Broomfield’s Relay for Life in June. Her father, 96 year old Frank Primavera, was the recipient of an award honoring the the oldest walker.
