My Mom had a major stroke at 36 years old and it was a shock. She was young and healthy but ended up unable to walk,talk,do anything for herself. She fought hard with therapy for speech,physical and all others. She took years but return to about 80% of her old self. She was well, then 30 years later she went for her yearly mammogram ( for some reason my Dad accidentally made the appointment 5 months too early) she went ahead and had the mammogram even though he may have to pay for it since it wasn't a year since the last one. Thank God She had it done, they found a lump on her right breast and ultra sound, biopsy and tests later she was dx with Invasive DuctalCarcinoma stage 2b. We were devastated but My Mom remained strong. She decided to have a bi-lateral mastectomy with some node removal on right side. She had surgery and Dr came out and told us her nodes were swollen and hard and not normal so he thinks the cancer spread. I cried because My Mom was so scared if chemo that's why she had the mastectomies. We prayed as all our family did and upon follow up appointment we were told everything came back clear, Dr even seemed surprised. No chemo needed just hormone therapy for 5 years and the gene test came back real low so very unlikely of a recurrence. I have no doubt my Mom was healed and she handles all her reconstruction surgeries like a champ, no complaining or nothing and hardly had to have pain meds. For the 2nd time My Mom was truly Blessed by Gods Healing Hands and we are all so grateful. My Mom will always be our Hero💕
