in memory of cathy

i would like to share some information with you who have had breast cancer or going through it. i just lost a friend to angiosarcoma of the breast. a friend i met through this discussion board and whom i never met in person, but emailed and chatted on the phone with for almost 2 years.  she was diagnosed feb 2013. although, this cancer,  is on the breast, is not a breast cancer. it starts with swelling, bruising, then a spot forms, which looks like a blood blister. it will grow and eventually come out on top of the skin.. or there can be many nodules under the skin...this can be a primary cancer or secondary cancer(caused by radiation). cathy received poor care from her oncoligist and then switched to another at a mojor hospital and again received poor care. any oncologist should know, you give chemo after surgery to protect the rest of the body. this she did not have.. eventually her body bacame engulfed in cancer. i never heard her give up or quit fighting.. she stayed so positive and so optomistic. for the last month of her life she couldn't walk and had limited use of her arms. but kept the attitude that she would regain use of her limbs. i'll miss her dearly, but i take solice in knowing she is in no more pain... i too am a survivor of breast cancer 14 yrs.. and angiosarcoma of the breast (from radiation) 5 yreas... i feel answering my email from cathy on this discussion board, was one of the best things in my life... i had a new friend..  i hope you all become everlasting survivors.
