It never ceases to amaze me how many of my girlfriends and female family members when I was initially diagnosed didn't ask me about the symptoms. I actually ended up "shoving it down their throats" in every telephone conversation and e-mail communication. Even when I talk about family history, no one really seems to listen. And many of these women are the daughters or wives or sisters of doctors. We have to keep talking about it . . . the symptoms AND the family history, especially the family history because potentially, it's preventable. The work you do with such passion, Annette, and the knowledge you pass along to women like me is priceless.
