Do you think gyn cancer runs in your family? Are you my cousin?

@val64 I don't have Norwegian ancestry that I know of (thanks to 23andme) but I do have Northern European ancestry, including the Baltic States. My paternal grandparents were from Latvia. So, I could not be of much help to you. I can ask our Connect Director, @colleenyoung if she can move your new discussion to a place that more members might see it. Would that be helpful to you?
How are you doing these days?

My family has only had endometrial and ovarian cancer, so I think this is as good a place on Connect as any for this question. I'm going to ask the same question to people related to me on AncestryDNA and 23andme. I don't have high expectations of finding anyone, but you never know unless you ask. And some of my ancestors had huge families so there are probably lots of distant cousins out there.
I'm doing well (knock on wood). It's been about 10 weeks since my last cycle of chemo, and I feel about normal; my hair is growing in, although not quite presentable; and the only remaining annoying side effect is that my toes and balls of my feet are sort of numb. Thanks for asking.
