My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2013 right before I was expecting my second child's birth. Torn and confused we began this journey together, I was her and still am her biggest fan and supporting system. To me breast cancer, or any cancer is not just a fight for the one affected because we are all affected. We, the supporters, are what keeps them fighting. My mother had her right breast removed, then this year the cancer has spread and is affecting many other parts of her body. My mother lives in constant pain and even though I am now 3600 miles away from her I am still hand in hand with her fighting for the day her light shines through. Shes a tough woman, and I will be home soon. Even after her doctors told her she will never work again, and that this was going to get her, she has NEVER stopped believing in me and me in her. Nothing matters more than her continuous effort. She is my heroin, and we will never give up. Every day shes in pain, but that pain just gives her more of a reason to push on through this for that day shes no longer in pain. I love her so much and am SO proud of her.. shes not letting this get her down. ♡
