    Very nicely written. I could understand the 'look' for a young person. For half of us we've had our children and are looking to perhaps survive another 30 years of life.

    That's far longer than the 5 year survival rates they offer and that seems insurmountable enough but for a young person like yourself, you would be wanting 50 to 60 year survival rate and that's a good long time. People instantly feel that's just crazy to live that long but survivors do, its just not openly published as a statistic yet.

    Its amazing how many people have told me their mums had bc decades ago and they are tentatively cancer free and still going great! At least nowadays we're getting a good handle on treatments and who knows in the future they might even have just an injectable cure. We live in hope this barbaric cutting it out becomes a thing of the past one of these days.
