genetic counselor

Debbie,

By consult only, I saw an onc who "specializes" not only in bc but in genetics, and so her referral was authoritative. She referred me to the geneticist (although because I was already in the clinical trial for early detection of ovarian cancer, I'd already been counseled 3 years prior and just hadn't felt the need to get the test). The second time I saw the geneticist he made the referral without any problem. The geneticist referred me to Myriad.
