This was a very moving letter for me. Five of my mother's aunts died of breast cancer in the 1940s and 1950s. All were diagnosed in their 40s and all left young children. When I was diagnosed two years ago, I know it must have brought a lot of fearful memories back to my mother. I am grateful that, if I had to have this disease, I was diagnosed in 2005. Thank you for sharing this letter.
