Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation is a breast cancer research charity. "One more breast cancer diagnosis is one too many. We must be the generation that ends it once and for all."

When I was four years old my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through out my childhood, I watched her fight, and now I am here as her survivor. The life expectancy for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer is 26 months. Fewer than 1 in 4 patients survive for more than five years. My mother made it seven. And in those seven years, we made every moment count. She was able to be a fantastic mom to both my brother and myself and fight a nasty cancer at the same time. My life would have been completely different if she did not make it those full seven years. I had her there in the most important times where a daughter truly needs her mother. Her long fight is all thanks to the amazing team of doctors and nurses that helped her remain strong and provided her with the best treatment possible- primarly the team at Dana-Farber hospital in Boston. We were lucky enough to live in an area with some of the best doctors in the world, but unfortunately that is not the case for all patients. Fund cancer research, every fighter deserves to fight their fight!!!
