Another friend with breast cancer. WTF is it with this fucking disease? Every time a woman in her 40s get it, they are told they are "so young" and yet... all the women I know who've been diagnosed recently are in their 40s. with kids my age. In a school of 400 children, there have been t least 8 moms diagnosed in the past 5 years -and these are moms of the kids I know -my kids' peers, so it's probably more like only 200 children. Over 5% of families. Is that ridiculously high? or does it just seemlike it. I don't remember anyone's mom having breast cancer when i was a kid, but maybe it just wasn't talked about and they wore wigs
