Earlier this year, doctors told 27-year-old Andrea Andrade she has stage 3 colon cancer and has between six months and two years to live.
“I look at my parents. I am thinking, ‘I am their only daughter,' and I think, 'What would they do without me?'" she told Inside Edition.
Doctors removed her tumor, part of her intestine and started chemotherapy.
Despite her grim diagnosis, she was determined to compete in the Miss California USA Beauty Pageant.
“I felt like I just need to do this now," she said. "It's been one of my lifelong dreams."
Her decision to compete came as her hair began falling out and the cancer-fighting drugs are triggering terrible migraines.
“I'm so focused on giving the judges everything they want,” she added. “They continue to say, ‘Hey, you motivate me.’ I say, ‘No, you motivate me.'"
On the night of the big competition Sunday, Andrade did not take home the crown, but did capture the Miss Congeniality Award.
“I am a strong believer that being positive cures everything,” she declared.

She trades her pageant outfits for a uniform and operates a street sweeper, winding her way through the city keeping things clean.
“It's a dirty job, but it doesn't bother me,” she told Inside Edition. “I like to get out there and do something different. I can do the glamorous stuff after work."
Doz is the only woman in her Brooklyn unit and she's following in the footsteps of her dad, who has worked in the sanitation department for nearly 20 years.
"I said, 'Let me try it,' and I absolutely love everything about it,” she said.
Her boss has also given her high marks, saying she is a diligent worker.
At home, her room is pageant central and a far cry from a sanitation garage. She has competed in multiple pageants since 2013.
"I’m more used to wearing these gowns than my uniform, but my uniform is more comfortable,” she revealed.
Nicole will be putting on a sash again in January where she hopes compete in her next pageant in Staten Island but in the meantime, she loves her blue-collar day job.
"It’s very exciting for people because it's out of the ordinary,” she said.
