My Mom passed away from metastatic bc in October 1989, eight months later I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Mom and I were more like sisters. My dad had died from a heart attack when I was 14 and we both used each other for support through the hard times. She saw me through college and graduate school.

In all likelyhood my Mom was also HER2 positive, but back in 1989 there was nothing available.

Hugs
