I've had two separate diagnoses of 'tumors' - a (life-long)brain tumor called 'Central Neurocytoma' diagnosed and treated in 1990 (craniotomy)and 2001(Gamma-knife Radiosurgery), and breast cancer (pink-color code) diagnosed and treated in 2003 and 2007 (with two lymphnodes involved).

Because of my family cancer history - Mother's Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and 2nd Brother's colon cancer - I believe I fit into the cluster called HNPCC - Hereditory Non-polyposis Colon Cancer, especially that my brother had described his tumor as very 'big'. That's why I had the hysterectomy/oophorectomy January last year. The insurance company approved the procedure because I was also tested with a BRCA1-Variance of unknown significance.

I'm the youngest of six and the first one to have had a tumor diagnosis (1990). 2nd Brother has been the healthiest, strongest member of the whole family (and I the weakiest, most sickly one

, so I am pretty sure there's a genetic cause somewhere. All three of us suffer from seasonal allergies (none of the other 5 family members do), so I've been wondering also about the allergy factor.
