Oklahoma City breast cancer survivor defying the odds
SUMMARY: Oklahoma City breast cancer survivor Genna was told she had about a year to live four years ago. After over a decade battling cancer, including being on oxygen and using a wheelchair, she joined a clinical trial at OU Health’s Stephenson Cancer Center. Now, she feels great, no longer senses her cancer, and is holding stable. Genna is back to gardening and training for the National Senior Games in Des Moines, Iowa. Her mindset is crucial—she fights back from setbacks and encourages others to keep trying and consider clinical trials. Genna’s legacy is resilience, inspiring her family and community.

Search on hold for missing swimmer
SUMMARY: Search efforts for a missing 22-year-old swimmer in Northeast Oklahoma County have been put on hold after he went under the Deep Fork River near Bullhead Falls. The incident occurred around 1 p.m. on July 4 during a holiday outing with friends. Emergency crews from Oklahoma City and Luther, including a helicopter, searched extensively but were forced to call off the operation due to dangerous conditions like strong currents, recent heavy rains, and submerged trees. Rescuers say the man was swept away by roaring rapids; despite attempts, it was too risky to continue water searches. The family remains in grief, hoping for updates.
