Yes I do have the CHEK2 mutation gene. The cancers I've had is skin cancer, breast cancer & thyroid cancer. Had a double mastectomy & thyroid removed. I keep up with my Dr appts & any scans or labs they want to run. Just had a lower abdomen pelvis CT done & no masses were found. Thank God! But they are watching a cyst on an ovary & crystalized lymph nodes on lung, kidney & spleen.

Wow, that’s a lot to handle. Funny how the BRCA mutations are all over the news but I had never even heard of the CHEK2 mutation until I found out I have it. I don’t know if my BRCA2 or CHEK2 mutation is responsible for my breast cancer but so many more cancers to watch out for. Oddly, my second cancer is neuroendocrine lung cancer not related to either mutation. Some bodies are just prone to cancer.
