My wife was recently diagnosed with level zero in her one brest. She had a few biopsies over the past few years. She just got done with 5 radiation treatments and did well. Some packs and pains and more tired than usual. I feel so bad for her going through this. He mom had brest cancer. She died at 93 years old. My wife is 70 now and I am 68. I feel scared for her. I know how I felt when I was told I needed a liver transplant in 2000 and faced the idea of my dieing. It was scary and I felt all alone. Fortunately I had a support group to go to back then. I had Hep C genotype 3 that was just made treatable in 2015 with new medicines. I had a second transplant in 2017 and again the fear of dieing returned again for a couple years from 2015 when the Hep was eliminated. I know that donor organs last a limited number of years on average. So I am fine now but scared to death for my wife.
