The reconstruction was really hard on her. She's in her late 50's, and they took some fat from her stomach to use in the breast, and did a tummy tuck at the same time. She said abdominal surgery is the worst thing she has ever had. Also, now she is kind of worried about her breasts getting cancer again. So if she had it to do over, she'd just want them off.

I think my adoptive mother got all those cancers because she ate so much meat. My family was midwestern in origin, and my husband, who was an on and off vegetarian, said he'd never seen anyone eat so much meat. Allen recommended a book to me called The China Study- and I would recommend it to anyone who has (or has had) cancer. While diet may not cure 100% of cancers, it looks like it can prevent some, and I think that might make a cancer survivor feel proactive- and feeling like you are doing something is part of winning the battle.
