My Mom

My mom is the reason I "click pink!" She's the one on the left with one of my sons and myself. I'll never forget when she found a lump in her breast. I was only 14 years old at the time and had no clue as to what was wrong. The day she had her surgery, my sister & I arrived home from school, and my dad sat us down to tell us she had breast cancer and a masectomy. She was very fortunate not to have to take chemo, but I do remember her suffering so from the pain of the surgery and the tubes that were attached. I'm very happy and proud to say she has been cancer free ever since May of 1978!! My sister graduated from high school just a couple of weeks after her going through the surgery, which she was determined to attend....and DID!!! I'm proud to say that she is doing great, is a true fighter and a SURVIVOR!! I love you Mom!!
