What to do - family history
After mum lived through breast cancer, it's now happening to my sister, no more then 2 years after mum.
She is doing ok, just finished her radiation and will be starting chemo in about 3 weeks. In the mean time she's been tested for the gene, results in 6 to 8 weeks.
If she's positive I will have to get a letter from my place of birth to prove both my mother and sister have breast cancer to enable me to be tested.
Discovered another fact that might increase my chances of getting breast cancer. It's all a bit nerve wrecking, to say the least.
Any advise anyone can give me?
It seems so unreal that I have to get a request for testing from my sisters oncologist located in the country of my birth, before anyone will believe me I'm not lying to them.
It actually gets me a bit angry to tell you the truth.
