I click for my mother and her mother as well. Both are survivors of breast cancer. My grandmother has been a survivor for over 15 years and my mother is a survivor of 7 years now. When my mother was diagnosed in September 2003 with Stage II breast cancer, it hit our family very hard. My mother is a strong woman and she was the foundation of the family. Possibly losing her was something we just could not fathom. Mom went in for surgery the day before Thanksgiving in 2003. She had a cancerous lump in her left breast and it had also shown up in her lymph nodes. To be safe, since the cancer was fairly aggressive, she made the tough decision to do the double mastectomy and has not looked back since. She has not had any tests come back positive since then and we, her family, are so grateful. Due to the fact that both she and my grandmother were diagnosed with breast cancer, the probability that me and my sisters will encounter it is very high. I also click for me, my sisters and all of the other women who are genetically predisposed. Free mammograms ensure that we will find it early and beat it. I sincerely hope that some day a cure will be discovered and we can put our worries to rest.
