My poor daughters. The one I dont get along with as I had a discussion about before. Had breast cancer surgery before she made the trip from ohio to see me. thats right. breast cancer same time, month etc. as her mom, (me) anyway, it was a week before her birthday. about all of us have birthdays in august but my youngest daughter in September. so, with myself, oldest daughter, and my son all had birthdays this month. almost the worst month of our lives. anyway, my youngest daughter, that loves and cares for me always, will be there by me the day of my surgery and after it to help me. my surgery date September 6st. this same daughters birthday. she says, "Happy birthday to me" talk about bad luck. i just hope i make it through ok so, she wont be hurt on her birthday the rest of her life. have you ever thought your bad lucks inherited by your kids and you might have inherited it from your parents? i wonder.

nope, my bad luck is all me, nobody else in the family even gets close - all the bad luck my brother has ever had he invited on himself...

hmm this is a hard one for me to answer. such things as cancer or other health issues can be inherited on their own but i do think some families just cant buy a break and it does pass down generations.. of course as long as they believe they have inherited it will also keep it going. a relative thought my family was cursed but to me i didnt see it yet my mom has had cancer 4 times that she inherited from both parents and a slew of other health problems and i have a ton of health problems (the only other female) where my brothers are never sick.. i DO think im cursed whenever its a holiday or ive made plans.. holidays and birthdays for a few years straight some one in my family would end up in the hospital or something health wise happen and any time i make plans i swear i either have my fibro flare up or i somehow injure myself to where i cant go.. maybe im just in denial =P

i hate it when im called that! lol im a realist and i like to be prepared for the worst so im never surprised with what could be a bad outcome and a lot of people think that makes me a pessimist.. of course if your asking about my health that is depressing and i prob sound like one on that lol but im blunt and honest and for some reason people dont LOVE that =p

Well i suppose that sickness are inherited; people who have cancer would mean somehow that their offsprings would or could possibly have inherited that gene too. but then, you know i have this friend who told me that sometimes a family is "cursed" especially when there seems to be a sickness thhat runs in the family and everyone suffering from it... it has got to be broken at least. Refuse to let the sickness eat you up, refuse to let the sickness break you down so you do not have to pass it on to your offsprings, daughters, or sons.

I have a friend whose female relatives all got br*st cancer and from what I know it was all around the same decade, so when she started to get it, she had to have surgery. As for bad luck, it is a different situation. I do know that if you have a forefather who once was a Christian and goes against God, becomes an unbeliever, rebels, the effects can be felt in the offspring and perhaps they may be physical, And the mental effects do happen. I do think in your case, that it was genetic in that for some reason your parents both had the gene for getting br*st cancer and perhaps they were too closely related or as I suspect both the ancestors of your mother and those of your father came from the same area in Europe or the same village. I know that I have friends where both their daughters have had a colconal implant because their parents came from the same area.

No. For some reason this is just going to have to be. Things happen for a reason. I believe in Fate. Something to be taught here about life or family dynamics or something. Bad luck is not inherited it just happens sometimes. At some point you will reaslize why this has all happened as it has.

As i said I do believe in Fate and wonder why this has happened to you. Something here to learn.

it does appear that bad luck seem to run in families but we can all break that cycle, and we must always think positive life is so precious.

Hi bunny, September is most important for you. Because that month is birthday of your children.You love your children. They also love their affectionate mom. They are concerned for their mother's health. To them mother's surgery is more important than their birthday. Children's love for you is the great gift for you.

Bunnybon...I have wondered that a million times. I have wondered how it can be that some stroll through without a hiccup and then others just never see a ray of light. I sure do wish we knew. I will be thinking about you and your daughters.

Bon, let's pray for a successful surgery. Let's not try and think negativly. I don't think we are stricken with family bad luck as you say. I would rather pray and be positive then spend negative thoughts this way. I do see how the others happened, let just say they were coincidences. I want you to be as positive as you possibly can as we want you relaxed and that all comes out well.

i dont believe bad luck is something that can be inherited. we make our choices and by choices comes "luck".
