Thank you all for your kind words. I read some where that this is "select but invisible group" that absolutely no one wants to you join but membership is forced upon you: Breast Cancer. i think its a very apt description. The clinic has already said that they will test me for the BRCA gene or anything else that might indicate a possible family connection but they have asked me if I know whether anyone else who has had breast cancer in the family, got tested for it. I would assume they have but no one can remember if they had the gene. All the women in the family that have gone through breast cancer, were over the age of 60, the first time they had it. I don't know it that makes me more convinced its a genetic thing or not. Trying to remain positive for my kids over the festive season but its hard some days. But i hope you all have as good a Christmas as possible and im thankful that i decided to join the online network
