You girls got me thinking about my workplace.It's a newish unit which was built on the grounds of an old hospital which had been pulled down.There is probably 40-50 staff employed there.Anyway,4 of us got breast cancer and another 3 got different cancers.So that's 7 of us (me twice might be 8?)in the last 8yrs who have had cancer.They have done alot of excavating and building extentions over the last 10yrs and I can't help but wonder if there was anything toxic in the soil. I've left now so don't have to worry about it. I guess it's hard to find a cure for breast cancer because it's not just one disease/pathology.I sometimes think it could be a virus that has stayed dormant from,say,mastitis or glandular fever.You know how shingles can flair up long after a bout of chicken pox.All this pondering doesn't seem to get me anywhere but wouldn't it be interesting if we could cross check some of these theories. I think of you Amanda and imagine how hard some days must be for you.I hope a cure or better treatment happens so you get to play with your grandkids.I wish that for all of us.
