bluekarin Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I've just found out my cousin, who is only a couple of years younger than me, has breast cancer. Well, I was originally told by my mum almost two weeks ago it was another cousin (this cousins younger sister) but nope, its the older one. It was a shock when I thought it was my younger cousin, but somehow it's even harder to know its the older sister. I am quite close to her, and although we've not really been in touch a lot over the years, we do have long funny chats via email or FB. It's just not fair On the upside, she is a very positive person, and its not going to beat her, and in her words she says 'bleep' cancer!

sadietoo Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 What horrid news. A friend of mine has just finished treatment for breast cancer and has been given the all clear. They are much better at treating it these days and if your cousin can maintain her positive attitude that will help too. More positive vibes coming from here.

bluekarin Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Thank you all so much for your responses. It's so nice to be able to 'talk' about these things with people who are outside of the situation. Actually, its a huge help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
