When cancer runs in the family

“We didn’t understand, until my father died of stomach cancer, that it was all genetic and frequent screening was the only option to save my family,” Eunice Mulehane says with a pained look in her eyes. 

When her father died in 2017, Eunice had just finished cervical cancer treatment, which had entailed the removal of her womb (hysterectomy). At the time of this interview with My Health last week, her sister was fighting breast cancer, while her niece is battling cancer of the eye.
