In April of 2007 at age 71 my Mom was diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. She was devastated as there is no history of breast cancer in our family. We had no clue as to what we were dealing with or would have to go thru. We were referred to Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in Morgantown, WV to see Dr. Jame Abraham. Dr. Abraham was a blessing for us. From the first visit he was great. He explained everything that would happen and what we could expect in the months and years to come. We started treatments immediately and had to travel every 2-3 weeks for them. This was a 3hr drive one way for us so it was very tiresome. The end of August 2007 Mom had her left breast and several lymph nodes removed and then had to go thru 45 treatments of radiation then treatments started all over again. Over the course of the next 3 years it was on again off again treatments as P.E.T. scans would show signs of lighted up areas of concern. She has not had a treatment and has been cancer free for about 2.5 yrs now. My daughter and I have stuck by her side thru all of this My daughter will be 11 in April and has been by her grandmas side since she was 4. Along with Dr. Abraham and his wonderful compassion and smile my Mom has kept her head up and kept a positive attitude. We continue to pray things will continue to be good, but should something turn up again we will be ready to fight it again. My Mom is my inspiration and proof that by having strong support and encouragement you can overcome....Just keep smiling and never let it control you!!
