Mommy isn't Sick
My journey through breast cancer as a mother
Photo credit:
My name is Raelene and at the time of diagnoses I am a 28 year old mother to a beautiful 6 month old girl named Clara. I want to use this blog to share my story with my family and friends as well as provide some insight to other young mothers who may be in the same situation as I am. I fight this fight with my amazing husband Ryan as well as my family and an army of incredible friends.
