Radiation after lumpectomy

@primek You are certainly the one to get advice from for gene testing as your family has had too much to deal with for this disease. So, now that I have had the test, do they keep checking my gene sample if new genes are discovered or do I have to request it? It would be like having a guardian angel over us testing our blood as new advancements are made! If I am positive, my sister & probably nieces will get checked. I would hate to "give" them my bad gene & would feel guilty even though I can't do anything about it. I guess in a way it is good if they know now so they can get checked early. Our famly is very close & it would break my heart to see any of them go through this. Could they be tested even if i am negative because of my cancer & my mum passing away with ovarian cancer? Your sister's mum had a long battle & she has certanly taught you how to live your life. What a courageous women she must have been & you are too, with what you have been through. My mum died at 46 y.o. & i was only 4 so i don't remember her at all. On her death certificate it says that she battled for 6 1/2 yrs so she too, was a fighter so i have to be one too! All the women on this forum give us valuable lessons & helps us to deal with the cards we are dealt. There are some brave women out there & their advice helps put things into perspective!  xx
