It said she had a condition already before the hemorrhedge occured.Makes you wonder if it is related to the cancer either from reoccurrence and metastasis or a complication from treatment.

Absolutely no fucking interest to us.... Yup. Partly because you can locate and isolate it quickly as it’s easier to access and operate on than many internal organs. Also because breast cancer research is heavily funded compared to many other types. It was a big killer 20 years ago, not so much now. Arguably the likes of Dusty Springfield and Linda McCartney would’ve lived today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
