Help Jo Anne Beat Breast Cancer
Donation protected
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my sister's and my campaign to help our MOM fight her battle against breast cancer. I've seen all the love and support she has received thus far on Facebook. She has a great circle of friends.
Mom was diagnosed in late May with Triple Negative, Grade 3 breast cancer. I must admit I don't know all the specifics, but what I do know is that NO ONE can honestly be prepared to receive news like this, OR the journey that is yet to come.
Doctors said surgery went well and think they got it all. But it doesn't stop there. Chemo and Radiation is recommend as precautionary measures.
Since day ONE she has been one strong and very positive mama!! However....entitled to having her no so strong moments too.
My whole purpose for reaching out and sharing my story is due to a recent conversation on my way in to work. I was saddened by a comment my mom had made. We were discussing insurance, knowingly what a huge expense this will endure. She said "I'm almost 60, they think they got it all. The chemo and radiation is just precautionary. I'm thinking of not going through with it" My JAW dropped. My exact words "I'm going to kick your ass next time I see you"
(This is the part where she would say "TONYA LYNN) Breaks my heart to hear her say those words. My sister's and I want her to continue her treatments because we know that's in her best interest. We would hope you agree.
