AA, Yes, I was tested in 2003 and was negative for brca1 and a variant for brca2, they said that the variant was most likely not problematic, but hoped to reclassify. In the summer of 2009, while in the parking lot of Home Depot plant shopping, I got a call from them saying they were now certain the variant was harmless and I was brca2 negative. I was so glad for my daughters sake as I know my bc was caused by radiation as an infant to the thymus gland. They also sent a letter to me and my oncologist with those results. Cathy
