Rare lung cancer fetal adenocarcinoma mutation
Cancer | Last Active: 10 hours ago | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
In reply to lynnn, yes I have the pathology report stating metastasis to brain spleen liver bones from fetal adenocarcinoma tp53, lfs (for short). My worry is that if I tell my family they will worry about developing this dreadful form of cancer for the rest of their lives and my daughter has already said if she had her choice she would rather not know ( she doesn't know of the mutation that her father had) my son and daughter and adult grandchildren saw the rapid progression and deterioration of their father ( grandfather) . Thank you for your thoughts

@gprior Gloria, it truly is a difficult decision. I don’t know what my daughter will do as she won’t discuss it.
And my brother doesn’t want to know. But that puts one in a potential risky situation. The benefit of knowing is that the suggested tests can be done early to hopefully catch anything early. Did your husband have a family member with known cancer? My mom had two, uterine and colon. I don’t know anything about her family, but it had to have appeared somewhere along her line. And with this damaged gene, various cancers are possible. So maybe your husband’s particular cancer wouldn’t be passed although a different and treatable one could. I believe it would be beneficial to know. As well as the pathology report, do you also have a genetic report with details of family risk? I think that would give you particulars for your family. To watch deterioration of a loved one is excrutiating. I am so sad for you.
