Her mother's breast cancer, and her own

At least nowadays breast cancer is not treated like a shameful condition. Those poor women in the past, what they had to go through with virtually no support apart from immediate family.

We don't feel very lucky with breast cancer but at least we can feel lucky in the support we can get nowadays and the shorter treatment times. Perhaps in the future we will be hailed as the last era of surgery and chemo and the future will hold just a simple injection of antibodies and the cancer is dead in its tracks?
