A day in my life as HOPE4ACURE

Well, this is my first blog, so be patient with me. Where to start...
Ok, so Prettty much I come from your normal every day average family. We have our ups n downs, and we work through them but as a whole life is good.
Then came 2002 my mom Gertie, who today is 84, in 2002 we heard the word nobody wants to hear CANCER! Mom had breast cancer. Feburary 14th 2002 mom had a mastectomy and began her chemo n radiation, and though she went through all the expected side effects. Thank God it was successful. One month to the day mom was diagnosed we again heard that ugly word CANCER this time my sister Jenny, exactly a month to the day after mom was diagnosed, again chemo-radiation and success. Time passed, all was well, so we thought..mom got sick and was admitted to the hospital..again that word CANCER this time LUNG...Mom sat us down and said "i don't want to upset you kids, BUT I'm almost 80 yrs old. I've been blessed with a beautiful family and a great life. I will take the chemo, BUT, I
am NOT taking the radiation this time. It makes me weak, n sick n I'm down in bed and IF it is my time to go, I don't want to be sick, I want to enjoy my time with my family. I am putting my trust in the Lord." She said, "If it is my time to go, I've had a great life. I am putting this in the LORDS HANDS!" Praise the Lord as I write this today mom is CANCER FREE 8 yrs now and so is my sister.
