Daily Writing #3

While talking to my mom about her family, something in our conversation caught my attention.
There were two people close to my generation that developed cancer. My grandmother had
breast cancer when she was sixty four, but fortunately survived through early detection. My
uncle developed prostate cancer in his forties and survived as well through early detection. The
cancer sparked my attention due to the risk that I may be at higher risk in developing cancer as I
grow older. I do believe that there are other family members from my mothers side that
developed cancer in their lifetime, but I have yet to dig further into the generation. I will have to
check my fathers side as well for health issues to learn more about my familys lineage health
complications.
