Oh booo. I'm so so sorry Linda. My stepmom is going through breast cancer right now - her first battle. She's 46. Her mother also had her but my stepmom tested positive for the gene so they immediately did a double mastectomy etc and started on chemo right away. It's not a fun time but they do seem to have so many more options available these days than ever before. Either way, I know there are no words, I know there is nothing I can say to make it better... but I'm here if you ever need to vent or talk or anything. My thoughts are with you right now.
Please keep us updated.
