p53 and radiation therapy
Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone's radiation oncologist advised that they won't go ahead with radiotherapy until genetic testing is done? I'm 30, stage 2a grade 3 bc, with no family history of cancer ...

Hi @MelissaD I think that's why I found it so strange and overwhelming when I was told I had to last week, genetic testing was mentioned but only ever as something I could consider if I wanted to later on. Since there is absolutely no family history, I didn't think i would bother with it. It just felt like yet another dr's appt and I'm a bit over them already! I will just have to get myself organised and get on with it. I hope your results come back all clear, fingers crossed for you. And best wishes for your last chemo session! I've only just started, hair has just started to fall out today. Looking forward to the last one :) x
