Dear Oprah,
Hello,I am writing you on behalf of my mother. In
1990 mom was told she had cancer of the brain and of the lung.It was hard for me to to see the changes that she went through,and the pain that she felt.She lost her sence of beauty,and self worth.I tried to help her but there was nothing that I could do to comfert her. I remember the first time I saw her in the hospital.She was hooked up to IVs and I did what I could not to cry and to be strong for her.I quite school to be home with her and I got three jobs to help pay the bills.The hardest part was the times when I would wake up to her vomiting becouse the cemo made her sick and brushing her hair and watching her cry becouse it was falling out!But with the lord by our side and family and friends we made it through. And i'm happy to say Betty Robertson,my beautiful,loving,and caring mother is now cancer free!!!! And I thought we should give praise to the many women who has faught and won this deadly killer with a makeover.I want the world to know that cancer can mess with our bodies but,it can't mess with our hearts and our souls!!!!I hope you like it,and keep this idea in mind.
