This picture was taken in 1972, I was 19 and my mother was 37. She was a cervical cancer survior but by taken later in life by Cardiomyopoty. I know this site is deditcated to Breast Cancer Suvivors and 2 of my best friends are surviors. I have also lost many friends to this horrible diease. The very sad part about my mother's heart diease is the she contacted it as a virus when she was a child. Heard diesase is the the leading casuse of death in women and I just felt the need to pay hommage to her in her plight. Not too much was know about this form of heart diease then and she died a long and painful death at the age of 57, which is how old I am now. God bless you mom and rest in peace :) xoxoxox
