    that my aunt has breast cancer. the most beautiful, successful, warm-hearted, considerate, intelligent, athletic, healthiest woman i've ever known in my life. 40 years young with three boys, ages 5, 8, and 12, a husband of over 20 years, a perfect career and home and life, millions of friends and 10 siblings... the one woman i pictured living a long, strong, and incredible life. my mom just found out over the phone and rushed over there to be with her. i have known people whose family members have had breast cancer, but i've never been affected by cancer so personally. all of a sudden i feel changed.. so helpless.. i can't explain this sadness. what am i supposed to do...

    Take hope.

    Breast cancer is NOT a death sentence. Nor does it necessarily mean she'll be an Amazon.

    Support her, stay strong. Hug her and love her. Until they go into the lump/nodes etc. they can't tell you if it's spread anywhere else.

    Tell her to eat healthy and find her a good clinic that treats a person not a cancer.

    Best of luck, and hugs to your family.

    And YOU. YOU look after yerself.

    Oh crap. You're in Canada.

    Er, wait in line for a doctor and hope it doesn't spread too far before she can be seen. Either that or sell everything and go to the USA for immediate treatment.

    completely uncool and uncalled for irongoth.

    I hope all goes well with your aunt, paintedsocks. I'm sure she'll be just fine.

    God Bless
