Sadly, I just found out last night that my uncle (My dad's brother-) was diagnosed with EC> My dad just under went surgery for EC 12/7/09. I am so sad. They have not staged it yet. My cousin is a PA so she will be able to help and support him.

    news
    Hi,
    Kim so sorry about the other case. I can't remember who but someone else just mentioned a father and brother dying of EC. Is this a genetic factor?? I am surprised for something so rare there are so many cases around. Prayers for all.
