Your story sounds similar to mine. Same cancer, though my kids were aged 9 to 15 and I became a single parent toward the end of the battle. I took the aggressive route, too. Now, 12 years later, I’m fighting a different cancer. I hope Kate does well with treatments. It sounds like the cancer was caught early. Unfortunately, her plea for privacy will fall on deaf ears. The press will never leave her alone. At least we were/are able to fight cancer out of the public eye.
When I was growing up, I never heard of women having breast cancer. Now it’s a different story. Five women in “the lab” where I worked were diagnosed with breast cancer in 5 years. My daughter’s Mother in law had breast cancer, and my son’s Mother in law had breast cancer. All of them have recovered, but that means two of my granddaughters have Grandmothers on both sides of their families that have had breast cancer. Anyone else notice this?
My prayers are with you.
