Defective BRCA1 & BRCA2 gene
Hi
I'm experiencing a loss of family members and have just tested for this gene, does anyone have any info about what their thoughts are???

Heidi - looks like you are getting some good advice here from the girls! :-) But wow! How frustrating for you with the results - grrrrrrrr. I would be one unhappy lady - Is it just a matter of signing the correct form? I too am looking at having testing after I go through my treatment as now it is my mum and me - not that strong - but I have two girls and I want to be informed for them. I have been advised it is quite a long and somewhat involved process to go through to have the testing. Do you know of the Familial Cancer Centre at Peter Mac? I was in seeing my surgeon last week and his office is in the same place - I picked up a brochure - I think if you go to www.petermac.org you might be able to find some information on the centre - you do need a referral.
How difficult for you to be in this situation - possibly why having the genetic counselling is a good idea with this/ :-)
Take care and I like your take on Red Wine! (I just wish I had my taste for it back...)
