Benefit for 27-year-old Lyric Hicks with terminal cancer

DANVILLE — At 27 years old, Lyric Hicks found out news that would forever change her life after she was diagnosed with a Neuroendocrine tumor.

“It’s actually like they think it started in my pancreatic tail, it’s moved to my liver, my lymph nodes, and spine,” Hicks said about her diagnosis. “Initially, I had gone to the ER (emergency room) because I woke up one night with extreme pain in my side, like I could barely walk or stand, and I couldn’t do anything without it hurting, so I went to the ER.”
