Touched by cancer?
It just seems so prevalent. We just have to keep praying and hope scientists and doctors will do their jobs.
My FH has 4 immediate relatives with cancer.
My aunt also may have it. The doctor thinks she does, but she will not go for the conclusive tests.  
Anyone else?
ETA:
My dad had tesitcular cancer and survived
My grandma on my dad's side had breast cancer and passed away
FH lost 2 grandparents to cancer
I know his one grandma had pancreatic, I don't remember the other
His grandpa currently has what was lung cnacer but metastatized (Sp?)
His dad has prostate cancer which spread to bones and lymph nodes
Uncle has lymphoma
Cousin had breast cancer

Re: Touched by cancer?
my maternal grandfather has had several spots of skin cancer (not sure what kind) removed from his head (he is bald) and my maternal grandmother had a 1cm tumor of small-cell lung cancer 1 1/2 years ago, they removed the middle lobe of her right lung and she is fine (did not need chemo or radiation).
that is the only history i am aware of, but since i smoked for 9 years i am concerned for my own risk!

Re: Touched by cancer?
Cancer runs rampant on DH's mother's side of the family. He lost his mother to ovarian cancer, his grandmother and both his aunts (his mother's sisters) all are breast cancer survivors. It goes beyond that; I think his grandmother said that there were 15 of them total on her side that had some form of cancer.

Re: Touched by cancer?
On my Fathers side:
My grandmother had breast cancer, which resulted in a mastectomy. Her Dr. didnt remove enough lymphnodes, so her cancer returned. She had it in her lungs and had a big tumor in her head. She passed away on 2/24/85
On my Mothers side:
My Aunt (Mom's sister) had breast cancer in her left breast at age 29, she had a mastecomy and reconstructive surgery. At her 10 year mark, she discovered her right breast had cancer. She did a total mastecomy. She beat cancer twice, and is now a 17 year survivor
My Mom's half sister found a lump in her breast, turned out to be cancer, opted for a lumpectomy. She was cancer free for 5 years, only to find out she had lung cancer 2 years ago. She took radical chemo and radiation, and is now cancer free, she too is a cancer survivor.

Re: Touched by cancer?
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.

Re: Touched by cancer?
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.
