My story is about my mother, who was a 13 year breast cancer survivor. When she was diagnosed and subsequently had a mastectomy, we were frightened and confused, and very unsure of what we needed to do to help our mother. Her surgery was "same day" and, as you can imagine, she was in extreme pain -- and it hurt all of us to watch her.Needless to say, we stayed by her side on a rotating basis to see to her needs, but we have all been forever changed by her experience.
My brothers, sister and I have been stomping our feet to help to ensure that no one else's mother has to go through the agony our mother did but campaigning for longer hospital stays. Thanks for allowing us this opportunity!
