Sheila and Stevans first met in high school. They started dating immediately and the rest is history. In 2018, Sheila started experiencing a lot of unexplained sickness. She had been working long hours at a law firm at the time and started missing a lot of work and unexpectedly lost hearing in one of her ears. After months of tests and procedures, an MRI revealed a rare, cancerous tumor at the base of her skull. She underwent two complicated surgeries to have the tumor removed, followed by a rigorous chemotherapy and radiation plan. While the surgery was overall successful, 30 % of the tumor remains. Sheila has had a very hard road to recovery and is still struggling with the lasting impacts of her illness.
