Some Backstory

My mother’s first round with breast cancer was in 2000. Her second round came in 2018, and the odds were stacked against her due to the type of cancer she had. We didn’t know that, of course, until she went in for a routine checkup in October, 2022, and we asked for some additional tests to double check that nothing sinister was occurring. Those tests instead revealed advanced and aggressive bone metastases. Our first oncology appointment was November 1, 2022, and our sweet mama passed into Spirit on December 20, 2022. <cue all the tears….it was such precious little time> We did our best to capture the emotions of this surreal and awful journey on our Caringbridge, which is linked below.
