View this post on Instagram xo Honoring Norene xo Norene and Mom > 1970's Norene ( on the left) was my mom's best friend When mom's best friend Norene "got" breast cancer she was 34, but wasn't diagnosed until age 35. Her first doctor pooh-poohed the lump in her breast, telling her she had lumpy breasts and suggested she go home and eat more protein. So, when she went back at age 35 and the breast cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, doctors told her she had 5 years to live. Norene died exactly 5 years later. Norene died 40 years ago today, age 40. #metastaticbreastcancer A post shared by Amy Byer Shainman (@brcaresponder) on Oct 6, 2018 at 10:58am PDT
