As a licensed professional counselor, Charlaine Price’s life’s work has been helping people talk through their problems.

But when her oncologist diagnosed her with multiple myeloma and estimated that she had two to five years to live, Price’s voice fell silent.

She felt like her doctor shot a bullet through her head, says Price, who was diagnosed in July 2011.

Multiple myeloma is a blood cancer that develops in plasma cells. By September 2015, Price learned hers had metastasized, or spread, to her spine. Yet nearly seven years after her death sentence, at age 70, she’s still standing, with no sign of being paralyzed or crippled as doctors anticipated.
