Got the news last week and can't believe it. We've worked very closely together for the last five years. I've spent more time with her than anyone during that time! She's a year younger than me, slim and fit, no family history, mid-forties. It's large so she needs six months of chemo to shrink it before surgery, and it's aggressive.
I have five family members who have died of this disease, and now this friend who has been such a huge part of my life has it. In addition, I know many women in my community who have had it.
But only two who have her aggressive kind (TNBC).
I'm scared for her, and depressed at how prevalent this disease seems to be - in my life, anyway!
