My mother was diagnosed with cancer and my daughter took her grandmother for her first trip to the Oncologist. He had many questions about who else in our family has or had cancer, perhaps to help determine if we are also at a high risk and might need testing to further determine risks, or possibly her chances of beating this. Cindy said to me, "Mom, when you're working on your genealogy, don't forget to include all of the medical information you know of or find. It could be very important later." I was aware of this at one time, but needed to be reminded. Holly ============================== Search ALL of RootsWeb's mailing lists in real time.
