p53 and radiation therapy

@CourtneyBianca - It was a little overwhelming for me at my genetics appointment, I think as it was so fresh at the start and I was full of info from every other appointment and being so young it is scary. Everyone said highly unlikely given no family history but at the age of 30 BC is not overly common compared to older woman, so my surgeon said we will do it to rule it out, but it will give me peace of mind. They say 90% of BC are random, 5-10% are causes of genetics. But at least if it is done, it will be better to know the right path of treatment 100%. Chemo you would still have regardless that wouldn't change if someone had a BRAC gene, it would just be radiation that could change. A simple blood test, you don't need to do anything else it pretty straight forward, they do all the work. Oh, good luck with Chemo, my hair started to fall out within my first round, in the 2 week mark, little strands here and there. I let my hair fall out more so I could get use to seeing my bald scalp, so it wasn't so full on shaving it with a full head of hair haha so use to it now it's crazy. Thank you! I still have a year of treatment to go as my BC is hormonal. But I rather get hit aggressively with treatment to know it will never come back. You will get there, it will go quicker than you think xxx
