In November of 2024, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.
“By the time we found that I had breast cancer, it had already spread to my liver and my bones,” said Dotson.
Doston has an incredible support system between her family, friends and Chiefs’ Cheerleading sisters. Her husband and two young children have helped her throughout the past year’s challenges.
“It would be really difficult to go on this journey without them,” said Dotson.
