In August 2004, I was diagnoses with Breast Cancer. I was alone in Hawaii, with my husband in Iraq and my family on the Mainland. A Red Cross message was sent and my husband came home from his tour in Iraq and my Mom came in from Arizona. They were with me 24/7 during all the Chemo and Radiation, My husband was supposed to return to Iraq after 2 weeks, but his Command allowed to stay home and not to return to Iraq to help my Mom deal with me and the the situation. Without their love and support, I wouldn't have been able to fight the good fight. There were alot of rought times when I couldn't eat, couldn't move off the sofa, couldn't get myseof to the bathroom, but they were both there to help. Helped my in and out of the shower, dried me off and dressed me because I couldn't lift my arms. I underwent 15 different surgeries to remove the cancer and infected lympnodes, The doctors would think they had it all, but it would creep in again.Each time I went to the Oncologist or the Plastic Surgeon, I knew I was in for it again! The look on their faces told it all. It took 5 years until the last surgery was completed and the last medication taken, but they were there for me the whole time. Without their help, love and support I would not have had the strength to fight the cancer and become the Warrior I am. For my 5th year anniversary, my husband bought me the Breast Cancer Mustang as a reminder of the WARRIOR I am! I can never thank them enough! Love makes you stronger!!
