***************************************************************

Couldn't help but enter this Challenge #33 by Celebrate the Occasion. My mum got breast cancer very young at 42 years old. Doctors have been watching me like a hawk since I was 32, just to be sure. Mum has the very aggressive BRACH2 gene for breast cancer which puts you 80% risk of it. That's high odds! But even the normal odds of 1 in 8 is high enough for me.

When I was just 19 years old I watched my mum go through a massive life change and physical change. It was rather scary. And if you read my journalling in this layout, you'll see what I was thinking at that time. 

She really was a warrior. But she had everything she needed to survive inside her before the battle began. She was transformed into a walking corpse for such a long time thanks to chemo with life long irreversible changes happening to her body. Never once missed a beat as a mum, wife and worker. She fought incredibly long and hard... and won. 

I'll have a few more layouts to follow this week that will show you more of my mum and how he kicked cancer to the curb. 

So if you know me, what I am dealing with, how much my life has been turned upside down lately, how much I get achieve, how every minute counts, how strong I am in my resolve and how well I know - and respect - myself as a person ... you can see now where I started building it. Behind every brilliant woman is another older version who she calls her mum. 

Thanks to Celebrate the Occasion for a chance to celebrate the best occasion ever...Remission! 13 years now. Wooo!
