An east Lubbock woman discovers her home ransacked after returning from her chemotherapy treatment. Yesterday, Rachel Benites walked into her east Lubbock home after her weekly chemotherapy session to find it burglarized.
 
She says the burglars took her TVs, microwave, even her kitchen stove. They also stole the disability check she had just cashed, leaving her with nothing.

Says Benites, "I was just in shock, it was like I'm one of them. You see it happen to other people and think it won't ever happen to yourself and then when it does....oh my gosh."
