Hi Tracy
I'm in Melbourne and that's the story I got from my GP. My mother also took DES during the time that she was pregnant with me which increases my chance even more. I had my mammogram and ultrasound done over 5 weeks ago and still no word from my GP, which I find puzzling and rude to be honest. I've been told by Beastcancer Victoria there is even a waiting list for testing and the interview could be even 4 to 6 Months away after you get approved. If my sisters test comes back negative I will not be able to be tested. Perhaps I should move back to QLD. If I were to be tested and it would come back positive I would not hesitate to have a double mastectomy. I don't know what to do. Thanks for responding xx
