Alright! Here comes the master sergeant who's seen it all.

I had wondered if I was having endometriosis in my 30's. I was always suffering very much during menses. Often had to take a sick day from school and work (had no idea it was not 'normal'). But after my brain surgery, I was sleeping better and became quite 'normal' - only to end up with recurrence (was 'poisoned' at work because of the tar used for the roof repair) and then breast cancer.

Were you born premature? I was a couple of months premature when Mother was 37 and I stayed in the 'warm oxyen tent' in the hospital for several weeks. My family (both parents and 5 older siblings) always attribute all my problems to being a premee. But now we know it has had a lot to do with genes.

I see that you were in the Boston Marathon in 2000. Are you the one wearing the cap? I ran track and played basketball from junior high all the way to college. Only one other basketball team members has also been treated for breast cancer.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
