Up to now, personally I've only know 3 face-to-face people who have had breast cancer:
my aunt-she was diagnosed in her mid-80's. But she died from a heart condidtion.

a cyclist- she was active on local cycling advocacy matters. She was diagnosed just last year.

a sister of a friend who died from breast cancer, in her late 40's. (latter who I used to be a very close friend. But we parted ways years before.)
