So, my Mom is a breast cancer survivor of about 15 years. She kicked its ass!! Her check ups in recent years have been clear. The latest one this week shows an abnormal small lump... they ruled out a cyst...

So, I am hoping for the best... life sure has a way of making you feel defeated at times.

In the last handful of years... we have lost both my in laws... 3 cousins and 2 fam friends... and just had word today one of our close friends lost her step dad... And now this. Just facts, I know some have it worse… and my apologies if it seems a complaint or feeling sorry for myself… it’s more just venting to friends…

Mom did say if was the C word... that she vowed to beat its ass like she done before... she is a strong woman.

If I can ask ya’ll when you're chatting with the almighty... maybe mention my Mom if it's not a bother.

Also, have the ladies in your life get screened if they don’t already! Cancer is no joke!

Edit… to say my Mom requested me send this on SMF as she knows this is my social media… and she wants all gals to get screened.

God bless your Mother, sounds like she is a trooper.

We had a scare two yrs ago, during a routine breast exam on my wife the Dr found an abnormality. Every woman on my wife's side of the family is a breast cancer survivor, a few even got double mastectomies to try to prevent cancer, then they still got cancer.
Anyhow, the Dr said he was 90% sure that my wife's abnormality was cancer, because of her family history.

They sent her to a specialist, she got all the scans and tests. The specialist comes into the room and says there is a pea sized cluster/ mass, but it is just fatty tissues, and 100% certain that it is NOT cancer. We were so relieved, and also so pissed at her Dr for saying what he said, 90% certain my ass. We thought my wife had cancer for almost 3 months and were super stressed out by it. I drove down to her 90% sure Dr's office and really laid into her about opening her mouth about cancer before the resulting tests were in her chubby little mits.

We then told her that she was fired because she can't be trusted any longer.

My wife gets an MRI once a yr along with the normal breast exams her NEW Dr gives her, and so far so good, thanks to the Lord above us.


Also, both of my Grandmothers and a few of my aunts were breast cancer survivors.

I pray that your Mother doesn't have to go through that crap again, but if she does, she will kick cancer's ass once again.

(Mom's and Grandmothers are Superwomen, stronger than any man alive.)

Take care of them for us, thank you, Lord!!!!

Dan.
 
Praying for your Mom, Justin. My Mom is going through the same thing right now too. Be the buffalo and run right through the storm brother. 👍
