What kind of tumor did they remove from your hand? Was is it surface like I assume your mother's cancer is? What kind of skin cancer runs in your family? My grandpa had skin cancer, but a Ford LTD ended up getting him in the long run.
Have you had any other suspicious growths? Have you had hyperplasia or fibroids before this? Is it endometrial cancer or uterine sarcoma? When will they be checking your lymph nodes to see if it's traveled?
My sister has had breast cancer twice and was put on tamoxifen for five years, which increases her risk of endometrial cancer. She did have an oophorectomy this past summer before her bi-lateral radical mastectomy, so at least she can't get ovarian cancer or breast cancer again.
Where are you doing your cancer treatments? Rush is one of the the best, fight to get there.
I, too, have a very high cancer risk. My mom's mom died of ovarian cancer, her father had skin cancer, her oldest bro died of lung cancer, he other brother had throat cancer and her sisters (identical twins) both had breast cancer within six months of each other. My sister got breast cancer the first time when she was 38, the second at 47. I have had biopsies done before and am scheduled for a follow-up repeat breast MRI to check up on some non-specific enhancements in my breast tissue. Luckily the lump I found last fall wasn't suspicious.
