My Auntie Maureen went through several bouts with cancer, starting in her teens, before leukemia finally got her at 72. Most of her trials though were with her reproductive system, and as a very young unmarried woman in the fifties all that went with that must have been incredibly difficult, until as she told me once, she learned 'you leave your dignity with your knickers darling, and put them both back on when its over'.
Valuable advice. She was a stunning woman who married an old fashioned man who never deserved her sadly, but lots of women meet that fate. I learnt a lot from her, especially about courage and personal strength.
