Up to this point I have only seen stories about mothers and their battles ..now let me introduce you to my daughter. Teri has been fighting for her life for 7 years and her spirit is still strong. She was first diagnosed with stage 4 metastasized breast cancer at the age 36. Not even 2 years later, the cancer appeared in the bones of her spine and hips...from there, several months later, it showed up in her skull. Since then she has endured numerous surgeries, several radiations and of course Chemo, which she is still having once a week. Through all of this, she is raising the last of her 4 children without a husband .. they are 10 and 8. Her strength and bravery has been a source of amazement....she refuses to give up. ... her favorite thought...that helps her when she is down...Remember that you are not alone....God has not deserted you...if things get to be too much for you to handle...give them to God.
I love and I am extremely proud of her...my daughter
