A Daughter's Story

I haven't yet visited any sites on breast cancer since my mother's diagnosis in March of 2001. I remember crying a lot when she told me the doctor thought her 4 cm tumor was malignant. I cried more when the biopsy proved it so, and even more when we found out the cancer had spread to her lungs and spine. It's been about 6 months now. The cancer has left her lungs and spine, but the 2 spots discovered in her liver a month ago have now become 20 spots. I think it's the unpredictability of the future that is hardest to deal with. My mom's a single parent who has taken the world on her shoulders.

I don't like seeing her suffer, and I don't like this pain I feel on the inside, but I try to be strong for her. I just keep thinking, I am only 21. I need my mom with me for a long time. She has to see me graduate from college, get married, and have her grandkids. I hope God doesn't think I'm being selfish for wanting that. My prayers go out to all the women who have shared their stories on this site who are still in an ongoing battle. I know our battle has just begun, but I hope we are as courageous over time as you all have been. God Bless.
