Re: Retesting Brca 1,2
I was also stage 1, and after completing the 5 years total of Tamoxifen and Femara, my oncologist advised me that I did not have to do 10 years.
I had BRCA testing because of my age at diagnosis, (just turned 48) and my Ashkenazi Jewish background. I as negative. No real close family history, my oncologist told me it would have been very unlikely that I had the either of the BRCA 1 or 2 genes. I am 9 years out now, and do not intend to get retested for the BRCA.
