Breast Cancer Twenty Five Years Ago

Twenty five years ago I was told I had breast cancer.I had my left ed breast remove and had chemo.I felt like I was ugly, being punish for my life.My husband and daughters helped me get threw it.I lost all my hair and I brought a wig and I did lunchroom duty at school and one boy saw I was wearing a wig and pulled it off.I ran out of the room crying feeling ashame.Haveing breast Cancer was so hard my four daughters where young.My one daughter enter a father's day contest saying how her daddy was there for me taking care of the kids cleaning.And she won .Her dad was so proud.If it wasn't for my family I don't know what I would have done.
