Thank you for sharing your own family history. I hope you have a genetic counselor as part of your healthcare, and keep close watch on your own risk for cancer. If you have children, please be sure they know, too.
Oddly enough, I'd consulted a genetic counselor at Kaiser to discuss my risks, given multiple cancers in my family, including both of my parents and two of my sisters. I was told I had nothing to worry about! Two weeks later, I was diagnosed with this INHERITED genetic mutation. (My grandmother died of uterine cancer, but I was always told that "isn't inherited."
There is so much they don't know. Y
Yes, I am trying to bring myself to video things for my granddaughter, but only when I can hold it together.
