Ok, Ross, is it time to go punch my mom in the nose???? Just kidding. She actually APPOLOGIZED to me after my diagnosis (her dad died of colon cancer 60 years ago.).
I think this truly is a breakthru, though...can be a wakeup call for someone who has it in the family.
(Actually, does anyone NOT have SOME kind of cancer in their family.....sad).
Thanks for keeping us all posted.

Actually Kathi, you bring up a good point there. I know we often read others post about having cancer in their family. It would be real interesring to know just how many have had "close family, relatives" that have been victims too.KathiM said:Ok, Ross, is it time to go punch my mom in the nose???? Just kidding.

My mum passed 7 years ago from brain cancer so I am looking into the genetics avenue for my kids sake.
.....and no, I would not have punched her in the nose!
