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. He says she was twice told to get her affairs in order and twice entered a clinical trial, and that she went on to become the longest surviving breast cancer patient of her era at the Cleveland Clinic.
