Fran, I wanted to say thank you for writing your book Cancer Schmancer. I've had about 8 people in my family be diagnosed with cancer. Many of my aunts have had breast cancer, one of which was a very rare and difficult to diagnose form., mom is at high-risk for colorectal cancer, and my grandpa died of prostate cancer. I've always known that cancer was prevalent in my family and that I was basically a genetic bulls-eye for getting some form cancer at some point in my life, but until I read your book I never thought to really take the time to educate myself. I figured I'm only 16, why should I be worried about all that right now? Now that I've read your book I've realized I need to start educating myself now so I can be prepared later and make sure to catch any cancers I might get in the future at STAGE 1.
