As a woman I always hate to read about these kinds of things because it gets me to thinking about myself. Breast cancer is prevelant on my mothers side of the family and I have been having to have mamograms since I was 25 (mainly because the onset of it with my cousins happened in their 20's). A mamogram is not a comfortable thing, I dont know many medical tests that are, especially as I am a very large breasted woman (DD Cup) and squishing them suckers for them to get an xray is well...downright painful sometimes, but it is worth it. Im 36 and so far have been really fortunate that nothing aside from a few benign cysts (they say caused my too much caffiene probably) have been found.
Breast Cancer doesnt necessarily have to claim a life, I encourage all women out there to make sure to have their mamograms done, early detection saves lives.
that said...Im sorry for your loss Cynthetiq, I will keep you and her family in my thoughts today.
