Carla's Story "There’s a lot about cancer I can’t control, but I can control the decision to work." Every day we hear incredible, inspiring stories about people balancing work, cancer and life — today we want to share one of those with you. Meet Carla, a survivor and single mom who is determined to live her life to the fullest — which includes doing the job she loves. Watch her story and hear why work empowers her to be the boss over cancer.
