Hi Nathalie,
just wanted to update you on my results from the Genetics test - all negative (BRAC 1&2, PTEN and P53), which wasnt a surprise really. As I said, there is no immediate BC history but plenty of different cancers of both sides. At least I know that the risk of my children inheriting the gene is still at 50% and not higher if I had the gene present. Hope all is going well for you.
Cheers Wendy
PS My dad was an only child as well and passed away 15 years ago so it hard to get accurate family history and information as all his family are now deceased. They thought if i had the gene, it would have been passed down from him. We have a family history of Gioblastoma (Brain Cancer) which is what my father and 4 other family members passed away from, so i am hoping one day they will be find the gene for that.
