Hi @Nafeesa, sorry you find yourself in this situation. This group is fabulous support. @arpie has given you great advice. I had gene testing and my results were that I don't have brca 1 or 2. There was alot of cancer in my family so I decided to check.
The brca genes aren't very common at all so it's a rare thing to have it. I got this done privately in Brisbane through a dr who specialises in this work. It cost about $400 and took 4 wks to get the results. I didn't do it before my treatment.
My breast cancer was aggressive and had a high return rate but I am now nearly 3 yrs from my original diagnosis and doing great.
Stay well and ask any questions of the group. We are always happy to help.
