Kay's Story

I have had more than one family member contract some form of cancer.  My grandfather was dependent on alcohol and developed liver cancer before passing away.  My cousin developed lymph node cancer but got treatment soon enough and is in remission still for over 4 years now.  The main reason though that I decided to sign up and help, is because of my mother.  She didn't smoke, chew, or drink.  Still, she developed cancer...breast cancer.  Getting treated, she was in remission for a while.  While she was at the hospital getting a checkup on the cancer status, I was down the hall with my wife at the time who was delivering a baby.  I found out that my mom was there so i went to her room to deliver the good news.  While I was there, the doctor came in with news of his own...not good.  He told her that the breast cancer had come back and that it had spread throughout her body.  She fought for as long as she could but finally passed away in a hospital room literally surrounded by family and friends, (more than should have been allowed into the room at one time).  Since then, I have quit smoking and am smoke free for over 5 years now.  In honor and memory of my mother, Susan Elaine Marshall, I signed up to help raise money to fight cancer.

Get in to your local doctor and get pporer test done.Cancer does affect woman at an early age such as 14. It's not as rare for woman who are under 40 ( called young survivors ) to be DX with breastcancer.AND lumps can be painful mine was very uncomfy and at times painful. Dont let anyone tell your different. The problem is many people think of Breast cancer as one disease. There are many different types of Breast cancer and its rare that one person is very much alike to another.It matters on the disease, size, hormone's, and many other things Get checked out and remember to continue to check yourself and get routine checks
