My wife had breast cancer twice starting at the age of 34. She is now a 34 year survivor.

Breast cancer is no longer a death sentence it was many years and decades ago.

We've always had cats and dogs in our home. The cats finally left when my daughter grew up and left. She is still a cat lady and
I'm glad the cats are gone! (messy creatures!!)
But we will always have our puppers. ALWAYS RESCUE dogs. They all have so much love to give.
I'm convinced humans don't deserve dogs. They give us unconditional love always.

Best wishes on your recovery. Keep a positive attitude, enjoy life and your pets!
