My mom was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer back in October. Breast cancer is generally
pretty treatable, but triple negative is more aggressive, fast growing, and more complicated to treat. The good news is that it responds really well to chemotherapy and if she goes into remission, it is less likely to come back later. She went through chemotherapy this winter, and had a double mastectomy in April. She's still recovering from the mastectomy, but not even that could keep her from going to Quilt Market this week, just 4 weeks after surgery! She will still need to go through radiation and reconstructive surgery, but I'm feeling pretty good that the two seemingly hardest parts are over.
My mom has been so optimistic the whole time she's had cancer and that rubs off on the rest of our family. It was hard to see her lose her hair and be so sick, but because she has a good attitude, it's less scary for the rest of us. We feel like this experience has brought us closer together and we have seen so many miracles.
Her hair is even growing back!
