Can We Talk About Family Cancer History?

Cartoon about hereditary cancer risk in families. There's an elephant standing against the wall while family members pretend not to notice. One family member is saying: Yeah, it hangs around at all our family gatherings. “It’s messy, unpleasant and really scary, so let’s not talk about it. Maybe it won’t be a problem if we ignore it.”
The cartoon is only to get your attention and get you thinking. There’s nothing really humorous about it actually. My person, my muse, my soul mate died because detailed information about a known cancer risk was not shared.

The CURE® article is a personal narrative about something that really needs to be seriously addressed – the sharing of potentially life-saving family health history information.
