I have a friend who was diagnosed with breast Cancer before she turned 30.
She’s been through chemo, radiation, a double mastectomy, and chemically induced menopause.
She’ll be 35 this coming year, and while I’m grateful my friend is still here, I don’t wish that nightmarish shit on anyone ever.
I’ve known other Survivors, but only tangentially; this recent experience was the first time it was ‘up close and personal’ for me; and it was a harrowing experience, just to witness.
