Cancer is sure out of the closet

There was a time, when nobody ever admitted they had cancer. Times have changed.

A Broadway star, in a musical which was about to open had a very different opening, when she discovered a lump in her breast. No secrets here. Maria Friedman took a couple of days off for surgery and then was back on the stage with a doctor in the wings.

One of my very first posts on this blog included how my friend was joking about the advantages of being "topless," after losing her second breast to cancer.

Big Sister is a breast cancer survivor. Poor thing has had a horrible road, with getting every side effect possible or known to mankind. But she's doing great. I can't imagine having surgery and being back a few days later. Boggles the mind.
