My mom passed away 5 years ago with Lung cancer. She was a fighter. She worked in a school, and did not want to let her kids down.

Hats off to kusum and his courage to fight stage 4 cancer. It's the most painful thing for someone who sees their loved one suffering and pain. And the helplessness makes it worse.

To all to give up their lives battling cancer they are called warriors. I am an 8years brain cancer survivor. I respect her battle. Never give up on yourself. I didn't and so she didn't. A strong survivor 💪💝🌸
