This is so interesting. I have had 3 stage 1 Melanomas and 1 insitu melanoma over last 5 years. I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer almost 3 years ago. I am BRCA 2 positive and my doctors have told me with that genetic mutation they do see families with melanoma as well. My two sisters also carry the BRCA gene mutation one got breast cancer at 31, I was dx at 36 but my other sister is 37 and still no breast ca. She had bilat. mastectomy after my dx. Anyway neither of them has had any skin problems. How easy is it to get this test I wonder? Are you brca positive? Melissa
