Cross #: 14.4577
Lupe
Tampa, FL
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was very small. She underwent a radical mastectomy and got on with life. She lost her battle 23 years later to metastatic breast cancer. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at 55 years old. I felt my mother with me at surgery at radiation and throughout the grueling chemo which left me very weak and unrecognizable. I received my cross on September 2015 at Faces of Courage, a camp for women cancer survivors. A friend of mine told me about this camp and I knew I should go. I’ve learned so much from the other survivors all ages all walks of life with a common bond. They taught me so much. They had overcome such adversity and still enjoyed life. I knew I could too. I am now an 11 year breast cancer survivor. Thank you God. Thank you Mami
