Another good point the genetic counselor made was she asked me why I was having the genetic test done. I had it because I was contemplating having a bi-lateral mastectomy and said it would help me make my decision. she advised that if you are not going to do anything with the results, it may not be worth finding out.
Obviously, your daughter will have to be vigilant in bse and having mammograms, and possibly ultrasounds, whether you have the gene or not, simply because her mother has bc.
If you are not having the test to make decisions about treatment, etc., it may not be worth it to have it done.
