Breast cancer is a plague!
May she join our ranks as a Sister and Survivor.
Nice of us all to refrain from comments about her ex. But I bet we are all thinking similarly
Me, I'm looking for a new signature in the meantime...

Now, now, let's not turn this into a Lance bash. She even suggests people with questions about cancer go to contact the LAF group.
It sounds like they caught is very early - describing the surgery as minimally invasive. Lumpectomy maybe?

arggh... breast cancer is one of those things you wish would just disappear, but it keeps on popping up regardless...
Glad to hear she is one of the lucky ones with the initial prognosis so good.
Will keep her in my thoughts and trust the cancer stays well-gone...
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

The good news of course is that there is excellent treatment, and prognosis is very positive for those who discover it in the early stages.

I wonder if breast cancer being so common is just because they can catch it so much sooner. A woman I work with was diagnosed with a spot so tiny. Pretty much at Stage 0 on the bc scale.

Does anyone know exactly what she had? The articles I've read are not very specific, so it makes me think she had DCIS, especially since it sounds like she had a lumpectomy and is going to undergo adjuvant chemo.
I feel bad for her, any kind of cancer is no fun at all.

Another reason cancer seems more common - people are more willing to talk about it and it garners more media attention. Thank goodness for that. Earlier detection is probably a factor too though.
My best wishes to her for a full recovery.
