Wife died Sunday, buried her today

8. Of course, it is natural to worry.....

..about anyone who gets any kind of cancer. Breast cancer I know, and for what it's worth, your friend has a good chance to add many years to her life. My wife's situation was similar in 2002. Since she was DXed with Lobular carcinoma in her left breast and lobular carcinoma has a tendency to recur in the other breast, she had both removed, with immediate reconstruction. Less than a year later, she came down with scarlet fever, a result of a strep infection, and it attached itself to her implants. They had to be removed. She waited a year then had another reconstruction done...much better job, I might add.

We had 9 yrs after her initial DX. We both retired and spent almost every day together for the remainder of her life. I am so thankful we made that decision.

So many strides have been made in BC treatment, and they may even find a cure for this damned disease before she recurs. Keep the faith, my friend.
