This is my Mother, young and beautiful and full of life. I remember the phone call i got that my mother was in the hospital. When i went up to see her she looked quite ill, like i have never seen her before. She was diagnosed with stage lV breast cancer. The cancer had spread to her lungs, filling them with fluid. she was hospitalized for quite some time before doctors have given us her final diagnosis which they expected her to only live for 3 more months. our lives were shattered. My mother is only 52 years old and this probably could have been cured if she visited a doctor more often and caught it at an earlier stage. Mother started to look better after awhile, she had the most amazing spirit and strength and she had this beautiful glow to her i swear it looked like she was getting younger..i was so proud of her. She fought a long hard battle. she went for chemotherapy treatments and after radiation. Her doctor told us the cancer obviously could not be cured but it looked to be controlled and not spreading any further. After a second opinion we were told it spread to her spine and bones.. what a great doctor huh? She still fought being wheelchair bound and all she was still in great spirit..I lost my mother October 11 2014 but She lived 8 months longer than expected. This isnt meant to scare anyone but to give hope. here was a woman that doctors said there was absolutely no hope for and her amazing spirit gave her more time with family. Also a reminder to get those MAMMOGRAMS and please take care of yourselves!
