Did Gram's type of ovarian cancer occur because of a BRCA1, BRCA2, or other gene mutation? If so, are you and Aunties Sylv and Mavis at higher risk for ovarian cancer? Are Emily, Betsy, Kristin and I at higher risk?

Scott and I both use protein powder as a meal replacement. It's very high quality (and actually tastes good), and I was wondering if that might be better for Gram than the Carnation in terms of building up her muscle and strength. It has 24g of protein per serving, and is in low in fat and calories.
