Susceptibility to cancer does seem hereditary, and my two daughters know only too well that their mother and all their grandparents have had it. The only thing you can do is get yourself checked often and hope for the best if and when.
Brosnan must be devastated. I know I was/would be.

It is just too hard to detect. Maybe freeze eggs first.

It didn't occur to me that Pierce Brosnan could have a 41 year old daughter. But the math works out, he was 19 when he had her. Sad

But he'd been a father figure to her nearly her whole life, so far as I know.

So sad to read this...he seems like a really decent guy.
