You obviously have never lost someone you love like life itself. I don’t think there is any age limit to the hurt it causes. That’s not limited to teens. And I think Maggie was referring to her understanding Victor’s motive for moving Caroline in and not acting like a love-sick teenager over it. Although I hate that Victor is putting her through that. Very insensitive of him.
But I agree with you over the cancer marker. I’m sure it can be very traumatic knowing it’s possible to get breast cancer but, as a survivor of it, I have to say it’s not the worst thing in the world to have. If I was going to get cancer, that is the kind to get because it is so curable. And after you have raised your children, you don’t really need them anymore anyway, plus, you can always get reconstruction which, in the end, you usually end up better looking than before. Besides, the statistics these days are that one in six women will get breast cancer in their lifetime. The only thing knowing about the marker can do is allow you to have a mastectomy in advance but you could do that anyway.
