sitting in the littler waiting area - this is where we go after we change and before we get zapped. Talking to another woman, probably my mom's age. she and her daughter both have breast cancer, her daughter slightly before her. we were talking about how off the stats are, how many younger women have cancer. She told me that she has run in to several mother daughter pairs, about our ages. Her final comment before she went in...seems like there's another gene for cancer that they havent found yet.
Now this statement drives a spike of fear into me. I assumed that this was an unfortunate anomaly and will be done. The thought of a gene induced cancer means...greater chance of recurrence.
I shall shortly stuff this far in to the back of my brain and ignore it.
I suppose I shall have to delete this post, so my external memory doesn't remind me either.
Oi.
7 days left, including today.
should one cancer patient spike fear into another? that seems unfair. but you are getting close to the end. this. this is good news.
