Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah, cancer can bite it. Srsly.
My cousin's partner's sister, whom I've never met, found out she had breast cancer either shortly before or right after she got pregnant. I think right after. She chose to carry the baby. She just passed away a couple of days ago after a pretty hard road. The pregnancy just elevated the cancer cells like whoa. She was 30. It just sickens me.

I'm gonna have me Seder, now. See ya in a while.
Again, Aims, my condolences.

OK, I've done all the Passover prep stuff that I can do without water. Supposedly, the water will get turned back on in a few minutes.

Thanks. I never got to meet her, but it really drives home to me that genetic-testing for the breast cancer gene should really be done more often than it is and the BS that could make it fall under "pre-existing condition" needs to go away. If it exists, which I am unsure that it does. I've only ever heard one anecdotal story about an insurance cmpany denying benefits because of it.
Happy Seder!!

OK, I am either brilliant or crazy. I've got a few hair things -- leave-in conditioner, gel, and so on -- that I only use a little bit of, and couldn't find travel-size containers for. I just put them from the big bottles into some spare contact lens cases, which then went into my one-quart plastic bag for airport security. (Now I just need to remember, red case is for eyes, blue and white cases are NOT for eyes.)

Yeah... I'd need to Sharpie a big black "X" on the hair product containers or there would be bad consequences.

Well, even in morning fog, I think I'd realize the difference in feel between a contact solution and leave-in conditioner.

I have mixed feelings about testing for BRCA gene. Only about 10 percent of breast cancers are caused by gene abnormalities, although gene abnormalities are behind about a quarter of breast cancers in women under 35. I think women of Ashkenazi and African descent and those who have had several female-organ cancers in the family should be counseled to have the test, but I'm afraid widespread testing would give a false sense of security, plus cost a lot. I think the most important thing is drum the message that young women can get breast cancer.
