ORANGE PARK, Fla. – The Orange Park community honored the owner of a beloved coffee shop who triumphed over a rare form of breast cancer.
Melissa Warren and her family own the popular Urban Bean Coffeehouse Cafe on U.S. 17 and Kingsley Avenue.
She was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer after her annual mammogram screening last summer.
Warren’s hair is growing back after she received chemotherapy and radiation to fight against the aggressive cancer that has a high risk of recurrence.
To celebrate her victory, patrons, friends and family threw her party at the coffee shop on Wednesday.
She underwent a lumpectomy surgery and completed her last round of chemo and radiation on April 28.
At her last check-up, Warren said the doctors told her there was “no evidence of disease.”
