https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/florida-gov-ron-desantis-wife-casey-diagnosed-with-breast-cancer/2565771/"I am saddened to report that Floridas esteemed First Lady and my beloved wife has been diagnosed with breast cancer," Gov. DeSantis said in a statement. "As the mother of three young children, Casey is the centerpiece of our family and has made an impact on the lives of countless Floridians through her initiatives as First Lady."
Casey DeSantis, 41, married Ron DeSantis in 2010. She is originally from Ohio and previously worked in television, including for WJXT in Jacksonville.
"As she faces the most difficult test of her life, she will have not only have my unwavering support but the support of our entire family, as well as the prayers and well wishes from Floridians across our state," Gov. DeSantis' statement read. "Casey is a true fighter, and she will never, never, never give up."

(19,473 posts)She seems to be okay, but for quite a few years, we were both reading about b.c. rather obsessively.

(113 posts)Is she going to use Science to beat this or is she going to use horse paste and witch doctors. I mean you can't have it both ways. Either you believe in modern medicine or you don't. JMHO...

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

(5,810 posts)It took well over one year to complete the entire plan set up for me lumpectomy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. But here I am, 31 years later, still alive and telling my tale. Maybe shell be so fortunate, especially with three young children to raise. I hope the experience is humbling for her to help her realize that all people deserve and need good medical care. Not just the privileged few. Having a serious, life threatening illness can definitely change your priorities and view of life. It can give you a point of view that not everyone has. I hope she takes advantage of the opportunity to grow as a human being and Ron, too.

I just hope the governor and his wife make the connection but I'm not holding out hope for that.

I don't think he gives a damn about anybody but himself.

(23,094 posts)She'd get treated regardless and I doubt has any compassion for those who don't - after all she's choosing to be married to a murderer for profit.
