Wife, mother, and only child. My mother, my hero, was diagnosed with nsclc squamous type, after years of misdiagnosis. She raised me as a single mom for 7 years, married an amazing man in my youth, whom I consider my "dad", & has ALWAYS put everyone ahead of herself (mostly me). I find writing therapeutic, so, I'll share my hero's story. It needs to be told. She absolutely deserves it to be told. She's a warrior, & I won't let it go unnoticed.
