    In 2010 my mom was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. I remember the day well; I remember feeling afraid and confused- but mostly confused, as I was promised that my mom would be okay- that she would just be sick for a little while.

I remember hearing my mom cry as she told my grandparents her diagnosis- I remember feeling helpless.
