Eleven relatives had their stomachs removed when genetic testing revealed they all had a 70% chance of getting stomach cancer. I would do it, for such a nasty disease and such a high risk.And if ten of my cousins join me, we could have a family party before the surgery too. That would be so excellent.
Six family members who had the gene decided not to get the surgery.
that creeps me out! people with no stomachs! yikes!
ReplyDeleteyeah, I guess it would be like an extreme version of gastric bypass surgery.
ReplyDeleteThey have to eat tiny meals very often.
I would probably do it too, under the circumstances. What a card to be dealt. At the risk of sounding preachy, let's all be greatful for what we do have, it could be worse. Is preachy a word? Hm.
ReplyDeleteah, I hate being grateful for what I have. All right, I'll do it. But I'm not happy about it.
