Breast Cancer Genetics Test
I just got my test for genetics to test for breast cancer gene. My mother had gotten breast cancer at age 34, stage 4. I was around 7-8 years old. I've already been doing my mammograms and mri. Alternating every six months. With this test I'll see if I need to keep doing that or what my options are. My mother had gotten breast cancer a second time, only this time it was everywhere. She passed away during surgery, I think they were removing some organs that had a lot of cancer on it. I was 18.
My mother was very mentally abusive but I always figured there was something wrong with me or it was the cancer making her that way. I'm not going to say what she said here as this is a post more about cancer then anything. Wish me luck that I missed that gene! I'll update when I get the results but they said it could take about a month or so.

@ShellyZz Got my results! I'm at 19 percent risk and that is just because my mother had it. The normal for every women is 13 percent. So not to bad, I was told just to keep up with my doctors. I was told I have good genes. So less worry for me.

Aye! That is good to hear!
