Lauren - was very intrigued by something you mentioned in your post to Eleanor regarding the incidences of cancer on your father's side of the family.
I, too, had no history of any kind of cancer on my mother's side but a strong history of cancer on my father's side--ie, my father (lung cancer), his mother (breast cancer in her early 30s-she lived to be 94), his father (stomach/colon cancer) and now my uncle (liver). Through the years not one doctor ever seemed to be concerned about this but only wanted to hear about my mother's side. Am curious and hopeful that docs will now take into consideration both sides of ones family.
