10 years ago Dec. 6/99 my father passed away of prostate cancer followed 6 years later by his older brother. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in March of this year(while living in the U.S., I married a U.S. citizen but hadn’t completed the process of obtaining a green card) I learned of the “cross over effect” and became extremely angry over my mother’s rather nonchalant response that she thought they had told me 10 1/2 years ago. After being refused treatment for the cancer in the U.S. I headed back to Canada and had a masectomy September 29,2009. Apparently the Mayo Clinic already has begun a generational study on my family of which I am the first female, third generation. Anything that can rid the world of this horrible disease would be a miracle, anything, thank-you (even if the province of B.C. isn’t helping considering that I will be receiving $100 for groceries per month etc. once all other bills are paid.)Paying for a taxi takes that amount down to $87 so I am sure it won’t take me long to get my grocery shopping done for the month. Women need to become aware of the cross over effect!
