The Arizona grandmother who went viral for accidentally inviting a stranger to her Thanksgiving dinner has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Wanda Dench chose to open up about her diagnosis in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, saying she's been undergoing chemotherapy. "That’s when a mass in my breast was detected and they suggested I get a mammogram and that verified I had breast cancer." "After the shock wore off, I met with the most wonderful people at the Breast Cancer Center. In 2016, Dench texted then 17-year-old Hinton inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner, thinking she was texting her grandson.
