Does anyone know if Myriad offers a genuine program for hardship situations?

Also, my Myriad test results included a comment that if they discovered anything new over time that might apply to my genetics, they would contact me. They have not. Given that breast cancer has been rather prolific in my family, I thought perhaps I might be more likely than those with less of a family history to see something from them over time.

Has anyone else ever been notified by Myriad about a new connection to their genetic composition after time had passed?
