Cancer as a Foreign Language

Oh the words you don't anticipate having to look up in a foreign language like Brustkrebs, or breast crabs. More specifically, breast cancer. I looked it up because I didn't know what else to do after finding out today that my mom has it. Luckily it's been caught early so it appears to be in situ, as they call it, but localized as we know it. Lumpectomy next Monday. Sigh.
