Zebra, that is funny. Two of my 4 siblings tested. Those 2 carry the Brca 2 mutation. Cancer on both sides of the family. Sister who has the mutations daughter tested. She carries the mutation. My older sibling wanted to roll the dice. No testing. Cancer, ut no conversation with me on if it may be genetic. Not everyone believes in the genetics angle.

I’m glad some of your family got tested, but sorry to hear they were all positive. People fall into 2 camps, the ones that like to be fully informed about their health and take charge and those who don’t want to know any details — lalalalala — denial. Those of us on this MayoConnect platform like to make informed decisions. Doctors have limited time with each patient so we need to our own advocates, ask informed questions and be proactive.
