Can you be denied genetic testing ?

Hi Frederica, I'm sure your situation is quite common My mother has had breast cancer (although not until she was 59) and I was diagnosed at 46. My mother has told me there was a lot of cancer in her family - her dad (my grandfather) died of it, his mother and sister also died of it. But the weird thing is nobody knows what their primary cancers were - even for my grandfather who died in the 1970s. Cancer, even as late as the 70s, was regarded as something a bit shameful here in Australia too. At least it was in Bendigo where my mother's family orginated. So I could have had at least three blood relatives with breast cancer ie great aunt and great-grandmother as well as mum but I will never know. I raised the idea of genetic testing with my oncologist  but she said I did not have enough eveidence to justify it.
