My mother is a 46 year old of german italian descent. my grandmother died at age 54 from gall bladder cancer and my grandfather died at 62 of colon cancer. I’m extremely worried about her and am constantly urging her to get more frequent check-ups than the average woman does. she had her gall bladder removed a long time ago but i can tell that she anticipates cancer is going to be the thing that gets her. she has 4 kids including me, with only one (my youngest brother) left in high school. the fact of the matter is we all love her and considering the fact that I am going to school to be a docter, want her to seek professional help so that she’s around for a long time. so my question is, what can i do to help her out? is there anything i should have her specifically ask for when she goes to the doctors(blood tests that might reveal something important)? like i said I’m always urging her to go more often and when she does i dont think she stresses the family history to the doc,any thoughts?
