Did you know?

There are six construction cranes between our house and the St Luke’s Cancer Clinic in downtown Boise.  I had a genetic counseling appointment there this week.

Because my father had mantle cell lymphoma, I had a thirteen times greater chance than most people of getting MCL.

Because both my father and I have/had MCL, my children have a higher risk than I did.

My blood has cancer mutations so testing for genetic mutations cannot be done via a blood draw.  I will have to have a skin punch biopsy.
