I would check her or have her check herself for rashes on her breast because the one type of breast cancer that is not tumorous is Paget's and it starts as a rash.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452366492486662984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-13583246760916239912013-07-13T07:45:57.831-07:002013-07-13T07:45:57.831-07:00Wow, this was excellent Cindy!!

I have always wondered why our kids looks so babyish for so long in their childhoods, and then as young adults it seems like the aging process speeds up drastically. Very interesting subject!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040699928110444013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-69211983386973332062013-07-12T14:34:45.848-07:002013-07-12T14:34:45.848-07:00I, too, was thrilled to find Mardra's blog whe...I, too, was thrilled to find Mardra's blog when she joined the hop - having so much insight from the parents of adults with Down syndrome, like you are, Cindy, is really valuable right now. I have to remember that while Sammi is only 7 right now, the time is passing quickly, and there's no time to waste to begin research and get some treatments for this premature aging we're all likely to see in our children. I'm hoping answers will come within Beth's and Marcus' lifetimes.Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963099760885760598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781391039989679284.post-88676869130881793202013-07-12T14:13:16.250-07:002013-07-12T14:13:16.250-07:00Ps.

My birthday was last week and I thought about Ben at age 35. I really can't imagine it but I know it will be here before I know it! And thank you for sharing the blog Grown Ups and Downs. It is so nice for me to read about a young man with Down syndrome:)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315418096327968090noreply@blogger.com
