yupI think this was her second bout with breast cancer. Rip
My wife and I sat one afternoon and just quickly counted the people in our family, co workers and friends who had cancer. We ended up with 25 we could think of. 15 were in my family, cowirkers friends etc. 3 are survivors of over 10 years including my wife.To bad the cure for cancer isn't available due to big pharm and the government! My mother in law (55 yo), her 6th oldest child (45 at the time), my grandfather (73 and was a smoker) and numerous close friends have died with this epidemic (yes, it's an epidemic)!
My wife's brother that died at 45 wad told he had 3 months to live (37 or 38 at the time) lived those 7 or 8 more years. No chemo or radiation treatments as he knew what it was doing to his mother. He worked at an oncology center and only his doctor knew he had cancer. He never smoked. At the time my daughter was born she was 2 months old and we (me, wife and 4 kids) stayed in Dallas the last 2 months of his life to be with him ('07). It's a hard fight!8 yrs ago a family member was told she had cancer, stage 4.........
End of post.
My side of the family also has a history of various cancers including mine that has no cure.My Dad just finished his bout of radiation treatment for lung cancer two Fridays ago. Thirteen years ago he beat prostate cancer.
My family history, paternal, is a cancer story all its own.
