DES Babies Besides Myself

in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

I know this is Uterine but was wondering if any of you are DES babies such as myself.  You can read more here. http://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/hormones/des-fact-sheet

I am wondering if this could have contributed to my cancer, not to mention never been able to have a baby myself.

    One of my brothers, born in

    One of my brothers, born in 1959, is.  There is some kind of nationwide registry (I think) that he reports to (but maybe it was through his hospital system).  Again, there's another drug give out to prevent miscarriage and ended up causing cancer!

    Love,
