Servilia battled inflamitory breast cancer for a little over 4 years. Inflamitory breast cancer is known to be the "silent killer" because it grows in nests and unless you do a mammogram, you won't be able to see it. And even in some cases inflamitory breast cancer will not show up in a mamogram. Servilia was in the shower one morning and felt a rough lump under her arm, right away she went to go do a mamogram and found out she was already on stage 3 breast cancer. She was devistated however her attitude and strength is what kept her going for 4 years she fought this cancer and beat it twice however it kept coming back stronger and stronger ! Unfortunately the last time It came back it took her life :( servilias story is unique because the doctor told me himself that no other patient with that type of cancer has ever lasted that long and I am proud to call her my mother. I lost her at 20 years of age and miss her dearly,No matter how sick she felt from chemo she always got right back up and said "fuck cancer" after 3 surgerys she got right back up and said what's next? So I say to anyone going threw cancer right now, if you ever feel weak just say to yourself "fuck cancer" !! :) thank you to the breast cancer society for letting me share this story !
