Alexis Smith is facing the fight of her life.
Born and raised in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, Alexis is a devoted mother to three wonderful children, Everly (8), Jagger (7), and Benton (3). She is also a nursing student at CTTC, working toward graduation this fall, and an Advanced Certified Medication Aide (ACMA) at the Center of Family Love in Okarche, where she dedicates her days to caring for others and helping with their daily needs.
Alexis is battling Stage IV Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, a form of breast cancer that has spread to her bones from her skull to her hips. Her diagnosis is triple positive breast cancer, meaning the cancer is fueled by estrogen and progesterone and is also HER2 positive, making it particularly aggressive.
She has begun an aggressive treatment plan and faces 18 weeks of intensive chemotherapy as doctors work to determine how her cancer and body respond. While her cancer is incurable, it is treatable, and the hope is that treatment will slow the progression of the disease and allow her more time with the people she loves most.
Throughout this journey, Alexis has been supported by her loving boyfriend, Joe Corkery, who has remained steadfastly by her side through every challenge.
Anyone who knows Alexis knows her heart for helping others. While pursuing her nursing degree, raising three children, and working in healthcare, she has always been someone people can count on. Now she is the one who needs the support of her family, friends, and community.
The road ahead will be long, filled with treatments, appointments, and obstacles, but Alexis is meeting it with strength, courage, and determination. She is fighting for her children, her loved ones, and every moment still to come.
Please keep Alexis, Everly, Jagger, Benton, Joe, and their entire family in your thoughts and prayers. They are grateful for all the support.
