Lucky that I have no one in my family with cancer.

I was trying to think and I came up empty..thankfully.

Sorry for those who have been touched by this awful disease.

My dad had a lung cancer scare last year, and my mom had a breast cancer scare last year. Thankfully it was different issues for both of them.

My dad has skin cancer. I think it's all been removed but he has to get body scans frequently now.

I lost both grandfathers to lung cancer.

I lost 2 cousins to breast cancer.

One cousin had several cancerous skin growths removed.

MIL had a portion of her lung removed that they thought was lung cancer. When it was biopsied it was indeterminate. They even sent it to the Mayo Clinic for further testing and they couldn't figure out what it was.

DH's grandfather has testicular cancer, but he's in his 90's so they aren't going to treat it.

My brother lost his FIL to cancer a little over a year ago. He'd beaten it twice before, but it was too much the 3rd time.

I lost my maternal grandfather at ago 52 to stomach cancer...
this past August my husband's cousin died of brain cancer at age 18

Cancer is prevalent in my family.

My paternal grandmother is a breast cancer survivor. My maternal grandfather had lung cancer. Some other family members also had cancer.

DH is a testicular cancer survivor and fought like hell to recover.

I hate cancer. It seems to be everywhere now.

Maternal Grandmother--Uterine cancer, leukemia...she is currently 89
Maternal Grandfather--Multiple myeloma, lost battle after 5 years
Aunt--body riddled with cancer by the time she found out---lived 6 months.
BIL--precancerous polyps at age 31
Uncle--mesophelioma

My thoughts and prayers go out to those of you who are unfortunatley touched by cancer.

Update 1/26/08: Found out my aunt has tongue and jaw cancer, will be going this week for cat scan to see if anywhere else.

My Grandfather (on my mothers side) died of liver cancer. He had three sisters as well who all died of some type of cancer all in their 60s-70s.

My mother had bone cancer that was caught early (by error) and her bone was removed and replaced with rods.

My aunt passed away of esophogel cancer.

Also a close family friend passed away of lung cancer 2 months after he found out.

Lost my great grandmothers to breast cancer, my grandfather to lung cancer, my aunt to breast / bone cancer, and my uncle to stomach / liver cancer. DH lost his grandfather to prostate cancer.

My Dad survived cancer on his tongue. My mom survived breast cancer. Both parents survived skin cancer. My uncle survived colon cancer.

It's everywhere.

My 33 year old cousin had ovarian cancer 2 1/2 years ago and just found out that she has peritoneal cancer.

She started chemo (again) Monday. Please God.

My brother.

He was diagnosed with Liposarcoma in April 2007.

Thankfully, with surgery, the tumor was removed and he's been in remission ever since.

Of course he's not completely out of the woods yet - the type of cancer he had has a history of recurring so he has a very good chance of it coming back. Because of this he now has to go for regular check ups. But first and foremost we feel blessed that for now, he's here and cancer free.
