For the past month I have been working on stories for my newspaper’s month-long emphasis on breast cancer.
I’m up to my eyebrows in breast cancer research and have talked with a number of women who are actively in treatment for this disease or are counting months and years of being a survivor.
As it always happens whenever I write about a disease or medical condition, I convince myself that I’m next to get it. When my husband had open hear surgery, I thought I had heart disease.
