Re: Cancer - Would you leave it or lose it?
I'm really not sure until I'm faced with it.
My mother died of Inflammatory Breast Cancer which is a rare aggressive form of breast cancer - one which is random not hereditary. However my sister a couple of years ago was found to have a pre-cancerous breast condition called ADH - that isn't hereditary either. However its very worrying and she immediately asked to have both removed. The gene investigators spent 2 years looking into our family history which also contains ovarian cancer which is a double whammy. However they wont take it into account because you have to have a living relative with the disease to be considered. They dont count your dead relatives.
My sis has no doubt, she wants them off. We watched my mother die in a terrible way and no-one wants to die that way. However if I'm faced with losing my beautiful bouncing babies - I just dont know.
