GREEN, Ohio — After missing more than eight weeks of work, Julie McMahan returned to her job recently as the communication and community outreach coordinator for Green Local Schools.
McMahan's life was turned upside down earlier this year when she got her first mammogram at the age of 60. Before then, she felt she didn't need to get one.However, after losing both of her parents last year and with retirement getting closer, McMahan's husband, Dana, insisted she get a series of health checks, including that first mammogram.Despite having no symptoms or worries, it turned out McMahan had an aggressive form of breast cancer.
As she recovers, McMahan continues to receive tremendous support from her co-workers, who have decorated her office, designed pink T-shirts with the word"hope" on them, sent multiple cards and texts and created a meal train. "Julie is a dear, dear person. I would not have my position if it was not for Julie McMahan. She advocated strongly for family support specialists to be in the school," Robinson said."I'd be devastated without her."
