Thanks. I lived on Long Island when I was a child. When I was diagnosed and my doctors were taking my history they rolled their eyes when I told them I lived on Long Island. They told me the breast cancer rates where a little higher on Long Island than in other places in the
U. S. at that time (1999). I just e-mailed my docs and asked them if it would be worthwhile to test me for it.
