Meet Rachel Milne, WOH Recipient for Something Rotten!

Rachel Milne, along with her husband Brent, is a proud parent to 6 amazing children (ages 15-25). She loves music and has played piano and participated in choirs throughout her life. She loves watching her kids and neighbors do things they love—sports, band, choir, plays, etc. Rachel loves spending time outdoors and relaxing at movies. She loves spending time with her friends, who are a major support system for her! Rachel also enjoys volunteering at church, her kids’ schools, and in the community. 

In October 2024, Rachel went in for an MRI due to some small difficulties she was having with writing, texting, and playing the piano. That day, they found brain tumors, and she was admitted to the hospital, where they found multiple other tumors. While there, she had brain surgery and was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-smoking small cell lung cancer. She had 5 rounds of radiation treatment on her brain in November.  She now takes an oral medication 2x a day, and they monitor side effects and the cancer with regular visits and scans. There is no cure for her cancer, so she is learning how to live with it. Through it all, Rachel remains positive, happy, blessed, and grateful.
