You might remember Wanda Dench, the grandma who sent a Thanksgiving invite to the wrong number back in 2016. She made a surprising announcement this year. Turns out, she's been battling breast cancer.

Wanda accidentally sent that text to Jamal Hinton many years ago. Despite the mix-up, they've become close friends and celebrate Thanksgiving together every year. This October, Wanda shared her health news on Jamal's Instagram. She had a CT scan for bronchitis, which led to finding a breast mass.

Imagine Wanda's shock. She'd never had any issues with breast cancer before. Doctors suggested a mammogram, and it confirmed the bad news. But Wanda isn't letting it get her down. She's been going through chemo and staying positive.

Wanda lost her husband to COVID-19 in 2020, but she's kept her Thanksgiving tradition with Jamal going strong. She wants everyone to know that life doesn't stop just because you're older. Regular check-ups are important, and you should keep living your life to the fullest.

The story began with a simple text mix-up, and it's grown into a heartwarming friendship. Wanda ended her post with a quote: "She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. "
