Has anyone done the research on the tests? I haven’t yet but all doctors encouraged me to do it.

Family history is important in a strange way. My mother’s father, my grandfather, had eight sisters and all died of breast cancer. Mom had it twice so the odds are against me. But, I take after my father’s side of the family. Not so great considering my dad had his first heart attack in this mid-50’s and his sister died of a heart attack at age 55.

Genetics study is fascinating and I wish I’d gone into it. I’m curious why the BRCA gene test isn’t publicized more. If it really worked, would people have it? I’m torn because knowing doesn’t matter. I can’t change my genes or cells and nothing stops or cures cancer. Even if removed and you’re cancer free, it isn’t cured, just arrested. It may return or may not. I’d not want to know because I can’t fix it. I’d worry so much I’d have that heart attack.

But..... you can overthink it and go crazy. How accurate is the test? If genetics say no, would you believe a test?

“It ain’t so simple” as someone told me at lunch today.
