‘She’s an inspiration.’ Fla. woman was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer 5 years ago — and she is still alive

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- In 2017, Katrena Rockeymore-Selig rushed to Broward Health Imperial Point convinced she was having a heart attack.

“I felt so much heaviness in my chest, so much pressure, it was like an elephant was sitting on me,” she recalls.

When the emergency room doctor at the Fort Lauderdale hospital took a chest X-ray, he saw fluid in her lungs. A test of the fluid revealed she had late-stage lung cancer.
