Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Posted January 18, 2006 I was wondering if any of you have a sibling who has had cancer. I have an older sister who had bone cancer when she was 11. Shes 54 now & in fairly decent health. The reason I ask is because anytime a doctor takes my medical history & finds out about my sister they automatically want to run tests on me if any of my symptoms look suspicious. I know they're just doing their job but it is nerve racking to be continiously tested for cancer . Last year I had a high white count and my primary took all kinds of tests, sent me to tons of specialists etc only to find that it was probably high because I have chronic sinus infections. My primary wants to have my white count rechecked again because it's elevated. I'm not thrilled about going through all this all over again,...last year was enough for me! Donna S. Quote
