My husband and I recently had the privilege of participating in the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Chattanooga.
I listened as my husband told the audience about how his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when he was 9 and how she died from the disease when he was 14.
As a child, my husband didn’t understand what breast cancer was. Unfortunately, he did understand what it was like to lose his mother.
