    • Not mine, but DH's malignant melanoma when DC was 20 m/o. Life revolved around getting DH through treatment with minimal disruption to DB's life. Thankfully, she has 4 wonderful grandparents who were willing and able to take her for days at a time on no notice. There were a lot of tears and a lot of prayers. 4 years later, he's cancer free, but I am a nightmare about sunscreen on DD - she's as fair-skinned as he is.

    • GD that OB thought was pre-existing type 2 as numbers at 3 hour glucose were SO elevated. Turned out there'd been a lab error; I didn't have GD, let alone type 2 diabetes. 6 weeks of hell.

    • I have been relatively healthy. However, I have dealt with my father having been on life support for 12 years, with the first full year in the hospital and regular long stints thereafter. As well as 1 full year of my little brother in intensive care before dying. I become super vigilant, organized and in charge. I'm definitely someone you want on your team in a crisis. It will be interesting to see how I handle it when it's my own illness.

    • mild-moderate scoliosis, malignant melanoma and HPV. Scoliosis never required surgery/brace, melanoma was caught early and HPV has been kept in check ( by the way, about 40% of the population is estimated to have HPV). I have always felt very fortunate!

    • I had breast cancer in early 30s. No fam history. Stage 1 but still live in fear of it coming back and have had a few scares related to that over the years. I also have HPV . That is so nothing to be afraid about . Don't 80% of women have it?

    • MS at age 27. 33 now. DD is 3.5 yrs. Rushed a pregnancy. Now I have beautiful, lovely little girl and I don't have any symptoms at all. Guess everything happens for a reason.
