Hi Julie,
If you are in Victoria you just ask your local GP for a referel to the familial clinic closest to you... now in so far as I know it is all covered by medicare and doesn't cost you a red cent. I have TNBC and my mum was the 1st to get it so it was suggested to me straight away as I have 4 girls and 2 boys to look out for. Because my Oncologist just happened to be Professor Linderman the head of genetic testing as wel,l he got me straight in on the same day as I met him and my results were back within 2 weeks...I just haven't got them yet as I was having my 1st chemo when they wanted me to come in so I just made it for the 1st day of spring instead which is Thursday this week...not really nervous at all, I've already made my decision regardless anyway so what ever the result won't change my mind on the matter....Now from what I can gather you do have to pay in QLD and maybe other states as well so just check with your GP if your not in Victoria, I am in Melbourne and having all my treatment at the RWH & RMH and the familial group is right there so I was lucky in that sense if you could say that! :-) I will keep you all posted on the final results any way so stay tuned.... :-D
Brightest Blessings to you & yours, Susan xxx
