Hi Susan,

 Mitzi’s Mother died with some sort of lung cancer. She was diagnosed in May and had her right lung removed as it was a fast growing tumor in her lung. She was a healthy girl that would run every morning.... eat all the right foods, work out regularly and was VERY in tune with the Nutrient Supplements as she worked at GNC. She was just 30 years old and thought she had pulled a chest muscle from walking on the treadmill with hand weights. This was in April and like I said she was dead by July. She knew that Mitzi needed to see a Urologist for  a fused Labia... but she did not know about CAH. She was Mexican and my son is not. The loss of our Grandchildrens mother has changed the family as a whole. I would have NEVER dreamed I would be raising a child at 53 !LOL Obviously, she had a bad gene and my son had a bad gene and this is what happened to cause Mitzi to have CAH. My Grandson who is nine does not have it ...... Although he has not been tested. What kind of cancer did you have? and as a carrier do you feel any different or have side effects like CAH. I wonder if my son is a carrier if she and he had a bad gene. Guess I have not asked the Doctor enough questions? Are you in remission or have you been cured? Hope this helps.......... I often wondered if she knew she was a carrier?

 I try to talk to her Mother But they seem to get offended everytime I bring it up.

 They would not let us or her children see her when she was dying and I believe they convinced her not to have Chemo or Radiation. It was horrible! They just would not accept the fact that she needed medicine and they would just play inspirational tapes and pray over her. To this day I still hold them somewhat responsible for her death. I am all for the power of prayer........ but this way did not work for her . She needed more. We would go to the house with the children dressed to see there mother and they would not let us in as it was never a good time. I kept saying that if she could see her babies MAYBE she would have fought a little harder. Don’t know ? I just know I am still angry for the way they handled the situation. MY son will NEVER get over it!! Sorry for this too be so long. Cherry
