Will I dance with my son at his wedding?

I attended a wedding shortly after my 2nd diagnosis with breast cancer. I was doing pretty well, UNTIL the mother/son dance came up at the reception. It took everything I had not to run out of there. These are part of the tough moments when you see other people's lives and wonder about things like "will I dance with my son at his wedding"?

As you can see on June 12th "I danced with my son at his wedding"! We have victories everyday, sometimes they are huge and sometimes they are small. Either way, I hope you are seeing them and enjoying them each day. Click on the link below to listen to the song Kevin chose for our dance~ enjoy!

Love you Kevin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5gvSzbSMNg

"Like all humans, you carry within you awesome survival mechanisms. All you need is the knowledge to trigger them. Once triggered, they will provide you with all the energy and health that you need to better survive. Take advantage of your innate power. Nourish yourself properly, live better, and live longer". - Ori Hofmekler

According to Eric Winer, MD, chief scientific advisor to Susan G Komen for the Cure®, the treatment of metastatic breast cancer has evolved dramatically over the past 10 years, and will evolve even more in the next decade. "I look forward to a time when metastatic breast cancer will be entirely manageable with well tolerated therapy. It may be quite some time before we can cure metastatic disease, but women with metastatic breast cancer can expect to live far longer and far better in the years ahead than in the past. "
