Prayers for this nice family.

BTW, any freeper females out there who lost a mother or sister to this disease, particularly if they were not elderly when they passed, need to get tested for the gene connected with ovarian cancer. It’s a tough disease to diagnose early enough to treat effectively, and almost impossible to cure when the patient has symptoms.

Ditto.

And people were contemptuous of Angelina Jolie who has the BRCAGene
She did the right thing.

My sister and I have both had OBCA, no genemdetected but it is there for sure. And survival has improved!

Five years out in August for me and mine was grim. Stats are better and cures are happening.

Thank you for the heads up. I wonder, does a Grandmother factor in? In my years of doctor appt., this fact has come up and no one has made a move about it. Thanks.
