[Jean]

No history of breast cancer in my family I am the first.
My mother had seven sisters none of whom had breast cancer or cancer of any kind.
My mother and her sisters all lived into their 80's.
My mother died of lung cancer (she was a heavy smoker) at age 84.
All her sisters died of old age.

I have two sisters who are older than me and so far (thank God) are
healthy.

On my father's side of the family there is only one sister who is 93 yrs.
old she smokes,drinks, and lives a full life. No cancer of any kind.

My Great Grandmother lived until 102 and died of old age.
My Grandmother lived until 98 yr. old and ran her home until the day she died.
My Father's mother died during the Spannish Flu.

So, my family history was solid and boy was I surprised to be told
I had bc.
