My mom was diagnosed 9 years ago with breast cancer and now I can say she is a survivor and my hero. I wasn't able to be with her in a physical state while going through her chemotherapy, but in spirit I was with her through prayer. I have been lucky not to be diagnosed but with both my maternal and praternal grandmother both losing their left breast from cancer then my mom it makes me think a little harder and take better care of myself. I get yearly mammograms though my local health department since I am low income and have no health insurance. It is my duty for me and for my family to get these yearly exams for peace of mind.
