My cousin had a very fast growing cancer when she was 35, and had a double mastectomy at 38. I would tell doctors this...and the would say, "but you are still young.

I have two left feet; my son Channing is a fantastic dancer. So what could be more terrifying than having almost a hundred people watching us dance? Not dancing. When I was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer in April 1998, Channing was seventeen, and our daughter Sara was twenty. My husband... Read more Chevron
