Nelie: I just wanted to share a bit of history with you, about breast cancer. My grandmother had breast cancer in the 1940s, before I was born. She had a full mastectomy (the tx then). One of her sisters also had breast cancer. My mother always told us to be on our best behavior when she visited because this might be our last visit with our grandmother (she lived in Oregon, we lived in California). My grandmother outlived my mother and half of her(my grandmother's) children. She died of old age in her mid 90s. Breast cancer is beatable. Oral cancer is too, but it is more of a challenge. Good luck!! - Candace
