Wellesley, Massachusetts, firefighter Joanie Cullinan returned to work after an 18-month fight against cancer, and she expressed how it felt to be back. “Amazing,” she said, talking to Boston 25 News. "It’s the best day of my life so far. That’s for sure.”
Fellow firefighters and local law enforcement were on hand to welcome her back for her first 24-hour shift. Having undergone a grueling year of chemotherapy, she then needed months of physiotherapy and strength training to get herself back into shape for the job she loves. After 18 months away, she finally returned to the station.
