I got this in an email and thought I'd share (haha!):
M and I went to visit his sister-in-law who had a very recent mastectomy due to a return of breast
cancer after 18 years. Apparently it is a different form of cancer this time. She is a strong woman and it seems they have caught it in early stages due to a timely annual mammogram. Her kids are all grown up now for which she is relieved. Do you know our hospitals are so crowded that this is a day surgery procedure, you are in and out in the same day! This is scary, but that on top of wait times for surgery is really stressful. She was lucky to have her surgery escalated, but this is not always the case and even the most critical cases can wait well over a month.
In other news, a guy at L's workplace had his identity stolen a couple of days ago. He found out his phone number and address had been changed and $900 worth of phones had been ordered for delivery to his 'new address' on his Fido account. They seemed to know his birthdate as well. In addition to that, 2 of his credit cards had been compromised. Their boss said she never puts anything in the garbage containing her address or her name. This is a scary thing.
