How my grandma and aunt have both been affected by breast cancer

[butterfli4201]

Both my aunt and my grandma on my moms side of the family have had breast cancer.  My grandma had to have both of her breasts removed and had to go through chemo and radiation and my aunt was diagnosed with cancer on the right side and after fighting through that she found out at her 1 year check up that it had returned but on the other side.  Not too long after that she was also diagnosed with cervical cancer.  They are both still alive and doing well today, but both live with a fear of it returning.

Wow I'm really sorry to hear that. My grandfather passed in dec 06 from cancer and then 2 months later my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Thats why I'm so about doing the race for the cure. We really need to find a cure and stop this before it affects our children and our grandchildren.
