Genetics
Jackie,
I would highly recommend gentic counseling before you make any decisions.
I too have a significant history w/ brother at 23 diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma, a cousin w/ same at 27. Another cousin (also 27) w/ ovarian and then I lost 2 aunts to bc one before she was 50 and the other at 55. All on the paternal side. It took time and counseling for me to come to the decision to get the genetic testing.
I did decide to test this month and I also fit a criteria to have my blood sent to a research data bank so hopefully it will help find some answers for our children & grandchildren.
