October 21, 2005 was a typical fall day for the children at Meadow Ridge Elementary School in Mead, Washington. The air was chilly and the view of nearby Mount Spokane must have had students and teachers alike dreaming about picking apples and pumpkins at Green Bluff orchards.
For Elizabeth Fish, though, this day would be life changing. The administrative assistant who had worked for the Mead School District for 17 years would step aboard the Sacred Heart Women’s Health Center Coach for a mammogram … and later find out she had breast cancer.
