4. I was worried about brain cancer

Have had two friends who were breast cancer survivors get a malignant brain tumor nearly a decade of being all clear from the breast cancer. One to two years later, they had died.

In both instances the docs said the brain cancer was a primary and not related to previous breast cancer. I still have trouble believing that.
