Great Article....
I was posting just yesterday how I noticed in my cancer center the majority
of the women having treatment were over 60 +....and doing well with their
treatment. It appears that (at least in my center) that more woman in this
age population are going the route of chemo. I was speaking with a lady
who is 83 (God Bless) and doing extremely well. I was rather surprised considering her age - but then again she had the attitude of a teenager.
I was deeply moved by her.
Thank you for posting this article hopeful...
