thank you hopeful
Thank you Hopeful! I am not BRCA I or II positive, I have no family history, no risk factors and stage IV breast cancer. I also have 2 daughters and like all of us pray that neither they nor their peers ever have to face this horrid disease. Maybe trials and projects like the one you cited will come to fruition sooner rather than later. My gentetic counselor said, you probably have some gene we just don't know how to test for it. Which means we don't know about my girls either. So it is good to know that real work is being done for the future. Keep bringing us good news and thanks again.
