This is my mom, Catrina. she was diagnosed only 7th with stage 3 breast cancer after a misdiagnosis of 'fibromyalgia' 6 months earlier. Since then, she has been through a mastectomy and her first round of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, hair began to fall out a week after chemo. She was blessed with a child with downs syndrome seventeen years ago and continues to care for her with all her strength. My name is nadia, I am the second out of three of her children. Never have I seen bravery and strength like I do in my mom. She continues to smile when even we want to cry and she laughs without fear of her future. I am proud to be her daughter.
