Breast Cancer,my experience

  As I lay here in my bed ,waiting for my little savior, Ambien to finally knock out the big,bad beast of insomnia for the night,I find myself contemplating....
My Grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer years ago.before there were more treatment options available. She had a Mastectomy and radiation therapy. She also had the drug Tamoxifen to take for pretty much the rest of her life. She also developed it in her lymph nodes and eventually her bones which ultimately killed her. Six years ago my Mother was diagnosed with the same. She had a lumpectomy and thirty-three radiation treatments.I'm so very happy to say that she is doing wonderfully! You know they say (whoever they are) that one in three women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.I have two sisters. Sometimes we would sit around and jokingly tell one another that "oh,I can't get it,I'm the pretty one" or "it's not gonna be me,I'm the comic relief and you need me". My sisters and I have an extremely sarcastic sense of humor.We even thought about taking bets on which sis would get that "gem" of a prize first.We are all very diligent with our Docs and mammograms but,that special little booger come gunning for yours truly. Yep, lucky me!
