My definition of a hero is courageous, strong, loving, bold, and a fighter. I know that my hero, my grandma, fits this definition to a T. My grandma had an encounter that changed her life forever. In March of 2016, she heard the horrific news no one ever wants to hear. She found out she had breast cancer. She went into the doctors for her normal yearly mammogram at Stanford Medical Center in Fargo, ND. Little did she know this regular yearly appointment would change her life forever. After this initial appointment of the mammogram, the next step was to further investigate the doctor’s suspicion about the cancer. A few days later the doctors ordered a biopsy. A biopsy is a sample of tissue taken from the body in order to examine it more closely.
