Thanks, I wonder about the stats.... I think maybe they did get a little messed up? 
Do you have a source for them?
Strange how your stats show no increase in risk for ovarian after breast, when the oncology salesman said his primary concern for getting the test was to eliminate the need for removal of ovaries.
Not unusual to get conflicting information in this area though.
