William Lindley has been watching his mother, Faye Wright, deal with cancer for more than 25 years. He was only a teenager when she was diagnosed with stage IV adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) in her right breast. This rare head and neck cancer usually appears in the salivary glands.  

Since then, William has seen his mother face three different recurrences. He’s also watched her undergo radiation therapy and multiple major surgeries to keep the cancer at bay.
