Hi all, I was referred to genetic clinic as I lost my Mum to Breast Cancer 7 Months before I was diagnosed with invasive Breast Cancer. Her Sister also carried the braca 2 gene and I lost both cousins to Breast and Ovarian Cancer. There was a lot of different Cancers found in my Family. My Father died of Bowel Cancer and then when my oldest Brother was diagnosed with it he had genetic testing and was found to carry Lynch Syndrome (a hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectial Cancer). Consequently, I was refered to the Genetic Clinic again and tested positive to this gene also. I am happy to say that I turn 6o next Month and I am glad that I survived Cancer and enjoy each and every Day. That doesn't mean to say that I don't worry about Cancer coming back as that thought never leaves you but I am happy to have a second chance.
