Anyone else have CHEK2 gene mutation? And have had multiple cancers?
I've had skin cancer, double mastectomy due to breast cancer & reconstruction, and now thyroid cancer & had to have thyroid removed. I'm scared & frustrated & I'm not getting a lot of answers from my Drs bedside blood tests for cancer markers. I'm tired & frustrated & am needing advice from others like me in this situation.

Colorado73, thank you for your kind thoughts. You have lost so many loved ones to cancer at such an early age. Awful. The only positive is that genetics is finally starting to become an effective treatment with the new editing techniques. I had to fight off the nasty effects of tamoxifen, but it can be done. There is always a psychological component to any physical problem. So, focus on living and decrease thinking about this evil gene expressing itself in the future. God bless you as well.
