I’m feeling quite distressed today. I just found out that my oldest sister has breast cancer. It was discovered during a routine mammogram so it came as a shock to her.
The “good” news is that they caught it early; so there are treatment options besides a mastectomy.
Suddenly my fight to get a mammogram has taken on new urgency.
I’m very sad today.

I am sorry to hear the news about your sister's diagnosis. A good friend of mine went in for a biopsy last week. Detection and treatment methods are much better than they used to be, but it's still scary.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. And, yes, the medical world has come a long way in its ability to treat breast cancer, thank goodness.
