Rob Lowe has spent this year describing a family history that runs through three generations of women. His great-grandmother, his grandmother, and his mother all had breast cancer.

Lowe described that history again this week on the CURE Talks Cancer podcast. The part he keeps returning to is his grandmother, whom he called Mim.
