My maternal grandmother and an uncle(mom's brother) died of colon cancer. A cousin (daughter of mom's brother.) was diagnosed with colon cancer, it was operable, and she's been cancer free for 5 years at this time. My mother died of ovarian cancer. 3 of her sisters had breast cancer. Only 1 was operable; the remaining 2 had Stage 4 cancer upon diagnosis.
