My mom died of ovarian cancer in 2006.

We were all surprised at the type since she had to have a hysterectomy in her late 40s. Her oncologist told her that in those days the doctors frequently did not remove a woman's ovaries when performing a hysterectomy to "keep her from going into the change of life too soon." But most of them never told their patients. So nobody thought they were there, including all of my mom's doctors for many years.

2008 Dad kidney cancer..RIP

My little sister is currently fighting Stage 4 lung and colon cancer. Been a rough couple of years but she is a trooper. My MIL died of lung cancer as well. One of Chiefs at work was diagnosed with brain cancer out of the blue just before the holidays.

Praying for a good outcome!

AMEN!

Thanks, appreciate that. She has taken about all the invasive chemo they can give her. She is now taking oral chemo. She just keeps fighting and trying to enjoy every day.

My mom had breast cancer and beat it. My MIL died several months after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Friend of mine died of pancreatic cancer. Cancer truly sux. I have had my brushes with skin cancer as a result of my misspent sunburned youth. 3 patches of squamous cell cancer. All very treatable. I see a dermatologist every 6 months.

Daddy - liver cancer
3 aunts and 4 uncles to lung cancer.
grandma and one aunt to cervical cancer.

Pretty much everybody else was either heart failure or accident except for a few odd ones... leukemia, lou gehrig's disease.
