Elizabeth  


In 2002, Elizabeth was a smart, popular and pretty college sophomore. Later that year, Elizabeth's world turned upside down when she was diagnosed with skin cancer in a spot right between her nose and upper lip.

Doctors told her the only chance for her survival was invasive surgery that would most likely disfigure her face. "I guess I kind of figured I was going to come out looking like my old self," Elizabeth says. "I was kind of shocked I didn't."
