My little sister died yesterday. She was 58. Pancreatic cancer. I turned 65 the day before that.

12. I'm sorry for the loss of your sister.

We have a vacation planned this summer and will be spending a week with my MIL and SIL before doing a week at Disney with our adult kids and future DIL. It seems like on my MILs side, every single one is a Trumper, except maybe my niece and her wife. I'm going to try to be good (I plan to allow no politics, religion, or weight talk or I'll leave). My SIL is terribly caustic on her best days - and she has a history of not having many of those. I've known her since she was 11 yo and I was 13 - and we're 58 and 60 now.

On the family cancer issue, have you or others in your family ever been tested for Lynch syndrome (a genetic predisposition for specific cancers)? If the test comes back positive, most insurance cos will up the frequency of cancer screenings, colonoscopies, etc. With my history of endometrial cancer, family history of breast cancer and bladder cancer, and dad's multiple myeloma, my onco recommended that I be tested.
