Had her surgery for it in October.
She had quite a year.
Gave birth to a son in January
And had her gallbladder out in February
Found out she had breast cancer in March
Did 6 months of aggressive chemo.
All the follow-up biopsies and lab work showed no signs of cancer so the chemo seems to have worked. But beware of the Red devil as they call it which is the last round of chemo which hit her the hardest.
She does have the BRCA2 Gene from her father's side.
