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
Christine

Dear Chelee,
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. You have been through so much with the difficulties of receiving adequate medical care. I didn't realize that your mother was so ill.
Thinking of you,
Barbara H.
