Can you imagine loosing your boobs?
On September 8, 2010 my mother underwent a mastectomy at the Lethbridge Regional Hospital.
She was having a hard time dealing with the fact that for some time she would only have one breast. (Temporarily of course)
And it was hard for me to hear her trying to deal with it and work through it.
I missed my first day of school so I could be there for my mom, and when she woke up, she was relieved, but also sad, and of course my mom cried.
I held back my emotion and tried to make light humor of the situation, she cracked a smile, but I could still see the pain in her eyes. I felt heart broken for my mother because no one should have to experience this, no one should have to experience cancer, period.
My mother is quite possibly the most caring, sweetest, outgoing and loving person you could meet.
And she continues to inspire and touch the lives of many who she meets. And I know once her journey is complete and she conquers cancer, she will inspire and bring hope to others who have to go through this life changing experience.
The support my mother has received from friends and family has been truly touching, even the support that I have received has been truly touching. So thank you to all of you that have reached out to my mom and family, your kind sentiments and thoughts of healing give us all hope.
My mom's next challenge is chemo. She will receive it on September 30Th, and I know she is scared and I am scared for her! But we will all make it through!
