A neighbour of my parents has just died of breast cancer. She’d overcome at least three doses of it. I remember her well and kindly.
It wasn’t her time. Fuck.
That is all.
At least she had friends to mourn her passing, like you. That’s saying something good.
I’m sorry for your loss.
My 46 year old cousin just passed away from it last month. Left behind 9 and 11 years old kids and shitty hubbie. I feel you, shit ain’t fair.
I’ve lost two colleagues to it. One had defeated the first aggressive bout and then a recurrence. When the third bout came, it started in her bones. She still held on for four years before it took her out.
The other woman didn’t stand a chance. Her cancer was Stage 4 when it was discovered. Even then, the docs kept her alive for nearly a year.
My mom’s had it (DICU), my maternal aunt has had it (Stage 2), and I’m at an increased risk to get it because of those factors as well as the fact that I don’t have children.
So, yeah. Fuck breast cancer.
Fuck all cancers.
My mom’s gone through it 3 times, last time with a mastectomy. Fuck cancer.
My mom died of breast cancer when I was 8 years old.
FUCK YOU, BREAST CANCER
I always get a laugh out of checkers who try to ask me for a donation “to support breast cancer.” I know they are talking about “breast cancer research”, the “research” being implied… but still… I kind of want to say, “YES I LOVE BREAST CANCER AND OFFER MY FULL SUPPORT OF IT!”
One of the local bigwigs has a “Cancer Gala” once a year to raise money to fight cancer. Every time the signs go up, I think, “Whee - cancer!!”
I lost a cousin to all sorts of cancer on the Monday before Thanksgiving of 2011 and her home is where we all would have gathered on that day because it was her favorite holiday. 
God bless you always!!!

P.S. She and her husband were married for close to 40 years and right after the doctor diagnosed her, her husband jumped into bed with the nearest word that I can’t say. :mad: :mad: :mad:
