No bc in family history.


I chose to be tested becuase I have two daughters and I wanted them to know their risks. The doctor also recommended just to have all covered.

Then i found out here that brac1 and 2 are negative for us. Unfortunately, I was tested before mastectomy. I wish I had been tested at time of biopsy for brac1 and brac 2. I'm also taking the ovaries out even though I'm not at risk.

Also the insurance could give you a hassle especially if hmo. Ask doctor to re write and justify need. I know my geneticist said that to me.
