Pink Ribbon
I was 19 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Her battle with cancer was a journey full of faith and hope.
It has been a very difficult journey for all of us;
Trying to describe what we felt and lived is impossible.
Seven years later, my mother passed away. Cancer was much stronger than her will; It made her weak month after month and day after day.
Today after many years, after I got married and God blessed me with children, I always do the examinations and tests the doctors ask me to do, and follow all procedures to ensure that I am in good health.
Not only for me, but also for those I love.
Spreading awareness about cancer, helping people to know more and working for others is crucial; Not everyone fully understands the risks, not everyone has the ability to get information about cancer.
