If you can do a family tree before the genetics appointment is helpful. Any grandparents, aunts etc with bc or ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer. These things can sometimes be linked. Actually they like to know of all cancers of what you know as amazing what ones are connected. And for your Mum...both sides are needed...her parents and theres (and her siblings of course) It can take a while to map so starting to work on it will help for when you have the appointment. I was sent paperwork to complete prior the appointment.
