Description
This series is of my mom, who has survived Breast Cancer three times over the past ten years. This last bout is in her lungs and her bones. She has struggled and fought her way through chemo and radiation, and is just getting her strength back. She is a true hero, a fighter, and a inspiration to me. Never have I heard a word of complaint from her mouth, regardless of how much she has been through. I have been taking photographs of her "journey" this hopefully final battle with breast cancer.It goes in this order:
Before treatments started, shown with my daughter
Hair started to fall out, so she had my sister shave it off
Artistic shots
Shots at the temple
Chemo treatments
Radiation
Final photo is my favorite of all.

I agree with TheTomoe.
People like me can only imagine how it feel's to fight against cancer, but I know how you must feel... My 'famu' (fathers mother) died one year ago and my grandma just came out of the hospital. 'It's a miracle she could even breath' said the doctor. Now she have to use some kind of a oxygen machine to breathe. And the doctors don't even know what's wrong with her.
So I do understand you. I wish your mom the best of luck!

This image really stood out to me: a portrait of a person that could do anything to survive, a survivor "Type", reguardless of context. I wish her the best of luck.
