Hug the women in your life
Sisters, mothers, wives, daughters. My younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. I found out Friday. I had just been to the Fred Hutchinson fundraiser and heard Cal Ripken speak. Now it hits home. She will be treated there. It's a world class cancer research and treatment facility in Seattle. She is in her late 30's with two young adorable children and a rock of a husband. She has many who love her and will support her in this but I'm scared and wondering what the future holds for her and her family. We'll know more at the end of the month. Hug the women you love and encourage them to self examine and have regular mammograms.

Breast cancer continues to plague women, but the prognosis is excellent these days. I hope she does extremely well in her treatment.

Keep your fear to yourself. Your sister is terrified. No matter what you feel always present confidence to her about her prognosis. Half the battle with any serious illness, even cancer, is the patient having an optimistic outlook.
And don't forget, this is no longer a death sentence for your sister. It is treatable and she can live a full, long life.

My wife eight years ago wasn't there one year, but was the next. Caught it early enough no radiation or chemo.

FWIW there are other things you can check on.
Rife technology Rife frequency list ( look for the altered states link) Beam Ray ( click on video to find a 42 min video) ( also look for crossover road link on page 2) I have one of these Beam Ray machines and it healed my back. My other friend has one from his wife he had a tumor behind his ear and was days from surgery and chemo, after 3 months the tumor went away no chemo or surgery. its worth a look see. Good luck whatever path you choose

Thanks. Definately keeping any fears I have to myself. Have offered her nothing but encouragement and support. She is strong, we have reason to believe they caught it early and she's getting excellent care.
