    Happy Birthday Pat. Hope you
    Happy Birthday Pat. Hope you can celebrate and do something special. Know what you're saying about your mom having cancer. My mom was dxed at 62 and I breathed a sigh of relief when my own 62nd bd passed. She lived til 70 and now I've been dxed. It really is a strange feeling. I know that if our mom's were alive they would say "your cancer is not mine. You can and will make it." Thanks for sharing your day with us. And may each year be better for you. Best wishes!

    I was diagnosed when I was
    I was diagnosed when I was 52 also (back in 2003). I don't recall that year fondly at all. My mom passed away of cancer too but she was 82 (ovarian).
