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.

My son wants to try for one more. Thanks I should mention that his wife also get tested, I don't know whether there is any history of BC in her family which could have caused her to inherit the gene.
