My father died of Desmoplastic small round cell tumors.
Its a very rare and aggressive canser.
I got news from a doctor that hes not sure if its genetic.
I was told I might have it.
So now Im getting tested.
I might be gone quite a bit.
So yea.
So now we laugh about it and have a good time.

I know this is a serious subject, but it makes me laugh.
The doctor who told me this is the one who worked on my dad back in Washington state.
The doctor Ive seen here in Michigan have never heard of it.
So no sad moments.
I just wanted to keep you all updated,
Just in case you know.
What is it? Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, highly aggressive tumor. This cancer almost always arises in the abdomen, but other primary sites have been described. This form of cancer spreads locally to lymph nodes and lining of the abdomen. It can also spread to the lungs, liver and bones. This cancer is more common in males and usually affects adolescents and young adults. The tumor has a characteristic genetic finding called a translocation. A portion of chromosome 11 is translocated to a portion of chromosome 22. Identifying this translocation is useful in confirming the diagnosis.
