My mother is a breast cancer survivor. It has been several years, but she still fights with other health issues. When my mom was diagnosed I was in shock! My first thought was, I am going to lose my mother, my best friend, the women that I look up to. She has one mastectomy only to then again go through another surgery because some of her lymph nodes needed to be removed. She went through chemo treatment and then radiation, and NEVER complained. We would call to see how she was doing or stop by to visit with her and she would be so sick yet so happy that she is here and fighting. She couldn’t eat a thing, she was always nauseated, and pain yet she managed to stay so strong and gave me strength that I never thought I had.  My mother is such an inspiration to me!! I do my best to attend all the walks supporting breast cancer awareness and I also got a beautiful pink ribbon with my mothers name Yvonne through it on the inside of my forearm. To be the women that my mother is is what it is all about for me!!

Thank you for showing your continued support!!!
