My mother-in-law passed away in Jan from breast cancer. This is a terrible disease. She had a mastectomy 2 years ago, but it didn't work. Her cancer spread to her brain. It was very sad to see a woman who enjoyed life, and used every opportunity she had to learn something new, waste away like she did. Regardless of Mrs. Edwards political leanings, I will be praying for her and her family.
My first mother-in-law suffered the same fate. At her request, I quit smoking. I'm very deeply sorry for your loss, and mine.
Margaret, thanks for sharing. I didn't know anything of Elizabeth's history. A dear friend recently had a mastectomy with reconstruction and has been advised by her doctors that she won't need chemo or radiation. She lost her mom to breast cancer a few years ago.
