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?

I grew up around relatives with cancer. But, as an adult, I have noticed many other people of all ages have/had cancer. When I was raising my own family, we knew many people of all ages with all types of cancer, just among the people we knew, plus other relatives. As soon as people hear I have it, whether at an oncologist’s office or a pharmacy or anywhere, they tell me about their experience with cancer, and they all believe the rate is increasing. The other day, another patient told me she’s a three-time survivor of two different cancers, and her daughter survived two cancers. But, I’m not sure whether the cancer rates really have increased or I’m just in a position where I’m meeting and talking with more cancer survivors...?
