Re: I am Fine - but bad new for my sister
Becky,
So sorry to hear about your sister's dx. How lucky she is to have you for a sister!! I can't imagine a better person to have at her side!
I often wonder how many other breast cancer genes are out there. BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the most common so the tests are out for that.
