I just got retested too because testing is different and better. I had 21 genes tested. I was fine but there ate other genes to test like the Rad51c and d. I had 28 genes tested. I had a variant of unknown significance on rad51d. They told me 99.9% of these continue to be nothing. Who knows?

I will cross all my fingers and toes for you.

Hugs
