I just found this post. 2024. I got the genetic test 1st, then my young3er sister got it and her daughter. My older brother got it. All carry the Brca2 mutation. I will send my brother that video. My older sister did not get the genetic test in August of 2021 when I received the family letter i shared with the 4 siblings. It is such an interesting challenge. What are the chances. Can one live with not knowing?

Sorry BRCA2 runs in your family as well. People are funny about the testing. If I knew I was at high risk and it’s in the family I would want know. I’d have a chance to know I didn’t have it too.

Did your son decide about more children? One thing to mention is that his wife should be tested. If a child inherits the BRCA2 mutation from both parents it causes a completely different disabling disorder. Odds are she doesn’t have the mutation but it’s best to know for sure.
