I posted this as I felt we all needed to "lighten up" a bit
as so much disturbing news has been posted.
I believe her2+ breast cancer is a different beast and conclusions and trends pertaining to breast cancer as a whole do not pertain/apply to it.
Hope this put a smile on some faces...

It did make me smile, Lani.
I read so many things that supposedly are indicative of BC, but very few seem to apply to me.
It was good for a laugh, and you're right, we need a little brevity sometimes.

I was just dialing my mother, because yes, she has wide hips and this is funny...but I'm afraid that she'll take it too seriously and blame herself. (But at least she'd stop blaming me for taking Acutane!!!)
