My mother has cancer for the 6th (SIXTH) time. She is moderately overweight – I told her that probably helped save her life (and will continue to do so.) BTW if you have to have cancer, she recommends spleen cancer, because they just remove the damn organ.
She’s one tough lady, as my primary care doc said.
Sixth!!!!! What is up with THAT?
Even if she is “one tough lady”, how horrible! I’m sorry she has to keep fighting it off. My best wishes.
Wow. I will be thinking of your mom, that one tough lady.
She’s had two rounds with breastcancer and this is the third with nonhodgekins. I guess technically you are never really cured of cancer. On the other hand she never catches the flu or anything else.
“On the other hand she never catches the flu or anything else.”
I’m not sure that’s an even trade. Damn.
