My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer. She had no family history and no risk factors. Thankfully, we caught it early, and with aggressive treatment she was declared cancer-free months after her initial diagnosis. Early detection allowed her story to be an inspiration instead of a tragedy. Everyone, take care of your health and get yourself checked where appropriate. Never assume it can't happen to you, because it can. I'm forever thankful that I will get to spend many more years with the best mom in the world. This one's for you.
