{{Jilli and Pete}} so sorry to here about the dread Beast
happy birthdy aCaBil - a day late.
I think I had my first mamogram at 39 - my doc has me on a two year schedual - just enough cancer in the family that it made sense.
and now for the scary story:
my sister is a year younger than I am . at 38/39 her best friend was diaagnosed with breast cancer. very Serious. After he masectomy, she decided against most therapys - because IF she survived the chances were high that she was going get cancer again - and one you use a particular therapy - it is less effective if needed in the future. T has just realized - it looks like shes going to live for a while, so you gets to make some future plans.
