Breast cancer and PTSD

Breast cancer is a wicked sycophant that tries to suck the life out of its host. It's best friend and companion is fear, which can be incredible debilitating. Fear actually fuels breast cancer by keeping the immune system busy while cancer does its ugly little mating dance. Only if you have heard your name  and the word cancer in  the same sentence can you really grasp this concept. Hearing that you have cancer is a poisonous mortality pie in the face. Suddenly you realize that nothing is safe, nor was it ever. Death becomes a real possibility and it changes the way you view everything.
