That's why I think genetic testing can tell us so much more without relying on incomplete memory and lack of access to relatives. Kerri, I don’t know much about my family medical history either.

There certainly has been a lot of attention paid to breast cancer, for example. I'm so sorry to hear about your best friend's friend. Life can certainly be nasty, brutish, and short. :( Krissy,

Sorry, David, this is an original comment. My best friend's friend from high school was treated for cervical cancer, was undertreated, and now has two months to live. She's 27. I admire the women here for giving an interview and I'm thinking that my friend might want to post a follow-up at Speckblog. I'll ask her. Women's cancers are horrible, if only because they are so far behind the others in understanding of pathology and treatment. After all, girls are "weird" anyway, right?

Just would give me more things to worry about. But if I'm ever faced with cancer, I hope I have the same spunk and courage as Carolyn!
