Hello everyone~ I wish I had better news to share but my older sister (49) has been diagnosed with breast cancer. How many of you have had this happen? I was 36 when I was diagnosed and the first in my family on both sides going back generations. At the time 9 years ago, I didn't fall into the genetic testing % where insurance would cover it. My sis had been watched very closely at the Mayo clinic but sneaky little tumor was hiding behind a Benine cyst. My poor Mom is struggling so badly. How many of you have had genetic testing? What should I ask for? I'm going in Tuesday for the BRCA analysis but is there another test out there? Her tumor make-up is completely different than mine (Er/pr 90%, Her2neg) but I guess it doesn't matter if its genetic? Lani any thoughts? I have a now 10 year old daughter and I am so scared for her. I am also scared I need to have my remaining breast removed and ovaries out. Just when I'm about to reach my 10 year mark and can finally get decent health ins (I'm self employed) .... Oh well this is life! Thank you all
