A community is rallying around an Orange County, California family as a husband and wife are both battling cancer while raising three young daughters. Zak Salazar discovered he had a brain tumor while his wife Cori Salazar was being treated for thyroid cancer.
Cori had just returned back to work after months away as she was receiving treatment for thyroid cancer. Just as the family was focused on Cori, suddenly, Zak received the shocking news that a malignant tumor was found on his brain.
In April, Cori was diagnosed with a fast-growing papillary thyroid carcinoma. Following recovery from a June 6 surgery, just three weeks later, Zak was diagnosed with a grade four astrocytoma brain tumor.
As the Mission Viejo couple makes the best of their situation while fighting their respective cancers, they haven’t lost hope and their priority remains focused on raising their children the best they can.
