Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- When I mentioned my bout withbreast cancer to a new acquaintance, his first question was,“Are you married?”
It was an unusual reaction -- a more common query iswhether I have kids. Later he told me that his daughter-in-lawhad been diagnosed with breast cancer while still in graduateschool and that she and his son had moved in with him.
