I know I keep talking about this.... But I cant begin to stress enough about cancer of any kind. My mama is battling breast cancer. 15 years ago she had early detection, breast removed no cancer in lymph ndes and five years of taking tamoxofin. She was cancer free. Over past ten years here in AZ, she lost the lov of her life and began a dark journey of falls,breaking bones, sickness with many hospitalizations. There is no excuse for not continuing regular screenings of mammograms. I was so engrossed in her sicknesses and injuries I did not pursue this. Fast forward and I do mean fast, February 2014 was the beginning of her battlbattle. In April a wonderful surgeon removed a tumor the size of a grapefruit and her breast, along with 32 lymph nodes in which 31 had cancer. She has undergone radiation treatment and already cancer has returned in the middle of chest. I cant begin to explain my heart ache for her and everyone who is battling this deadly disease. I dont know what is next , chemotherapy. My point to all this is early detection no matter what some doctor neglects to decide. Being a cancer survivor myself, this experience has totally rocked me to my core. Ive spent a lot of time with women dealing w cancer lately, they are brave, strong kind and havesome of the greatest Ive ever seen. Behind closed doors of cancer, dealing with the disease and treatment there is also insurance matters, financial matters, so much more. I have seen doors slammed over and over. This disease brings out the fighters in everyone but also the fears andhelplessness that no one can understand unless they have truly experienced. My hope is that early detection, compassion and love are never ever forgotten by anyone.!!!!!!!
