Re: My Sister Has Breast Cancer
Sheila,
Thought this bit of info might help in terms of BRCA ... Seems that there are families, albeit rare, where although one (affected w BC) family member may be - , tested other family members may be prudent as they could still be +.
At this point the purpose would be to determine if your sister might need to take other steps recommended for those who are BRCA+, ie; Oophrectomy.
Hope I am not being annoying I know u dont need that?!
At the very least speaking with a Certified Genetics Counselor would be in order as there are other familial cancer syndromes that include BC.
With genuine concern,
Marcia
