My Mom Has Breast Cancer

My Mom found out today that she has breast cancer. Her sister Gaetana is a survivor. Her cousin Linda (on her mom's side) is a survivor. My mom can beat this.

My Dad's sister is a survivor. If you are a religious person, please include my mom in your prayers. Thanks.

I was going to say that on the plus side I don't know anyone who hasn't beaten breast cancer, but then I remembered Heidi. I'm not sure, but I think Heidi's cancer was in remission when I first met her. The event I ride in up in Massachusetts was renamed in her honor "Heidi's Chain of Hope". RIP Heidi.
