Hi Terry:
No I do not have cancer, but so far it hasn't missed a generation in my
family..all have died. All have gotten it around my age, and that is
why I am so interested in this.
I agree patients need to know the truth. They want the truth also.
That is why I am trying to find out everything I can about this.
None of my family members were given any chance of survival, that is why
this is so interesting and important to me.
