Sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers and condolences.

Both parents have Cancer, two brothers, one with stage 4 Cancer, one just had surgery for bladder Cancer and one Sister has been through breast cancer

My wife's family has cancer running through the women.

We had a friend of the family whose family was instrumental in isolating the breast cancer gene.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. It is a horrible disease, and shows no mercy if given the chance.

To answer your question, No. But, my sister had colon cancer 7 years ago, while in her mid 40's. Big surprise. My people usually kick it by heart attacks.

She was a trooper and kicked its ass. Very proud of her, as she found out the hard way. Luckily she was visiting me for Christmas and new years when the tumor ruptured. If she had of been anywhere else, I am sure she would have died. God brought her to me to make sure she made it through her journey. The two of us are the only close family we have, so we watch out for each other the best we can.

Heart-felt condolences, thoughts, and prayers for you and your family Q.

No real obvious history of cancer in my family on my dad's or mom's side that I know of and all my grandparents lived to be 90 or very close to it thank God although treatable instances of blood clots do seem to run on my father's side of the family (including my dad and my grandfather) and I have had an experience with them myself as well. There was very good longevity and mostly lack of major illnesses for my great grandparents with most living into their 90s and one great grandfather which I had the privilege to know as a child made it to 100. I actually got to know three of my great grandparents. My uncle (dad's older brother) got very sick when he served in Korea and from then on seemed to have an ongoing issue with his liver and passed away from liver failure in his 50s. A very nice guy and was glad to have gotten to know him as well into my late teens.

On my wife's side, she had an uncle that died from cancer (attributed to his exposure to agent orange in Vietnam) but many years later in his 50s. One of his daughters (of five children) was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer and is currently getting treatment and she is in her early 40s. None other than those and generally fairly good longevity on her side as well although maybe not quite as good as on mine.

It would seem most serious illnesses or even other less serious conditions are some combination of genetics and environmental exposures along with some lifestyle choices. I pray to be blessed with God's grace to be able to experience the longevity that seems to be prevalent in my family. I'm currently 47.

Sorry for your loss, especially from a repeat killer. That would be hard to deal with.

No, either poor judgement or heart disease seem to be the common symptoms for earlier deaths in my family.

Sorry to hear of your loss.
