Anyone have experience with genetic testing?

I had 2 breast cancers and colon cancer since 2016. My mom had 2 cancers.
I had a genetic test which revealed a hereditary pathogenic gene, (now I know why I had the cancers and the 90% risk). Fortunately all small and treatable. I received a letter to share with daughter and my two siblings. The letter also contained a list of yearly tests. I am very worried about family. They are all at 50% risk of having this gene, and if they do there is a 90% cancer risk. I am very anxious to hear results of my daughter’s blood test. If she has the gene, we worry for her then our worry also extends to my 12 yr. old granddaughter who would be at 90% risk of childhood cancers. Yes, even if markers are negative one can still get cancer within the lower generalized risk. Best to you all.
