Anyone have experience with genetic testing?

One great aunt had breast cancer. Sister had cancer, but not breast. Uncle had cancer but testicular. Auntie had carcinoids.

I came in looking for breast reduction and they found a small tumor in the right breast on May 5, 2025 on my wedding anniversary. I had surgery on August 1 2025. Too long to wait for mastectomy. I did fine after the surgery. It was 10 hours. I was really starting to feel good by October but was asked to do radiation since which was 15 doses over 3 weeks. Ended Nov 7th.

I saw someone say that the AI pills are easy; they are NOT! Easy to take but they have causes all kinds of pain in my points and debilitated my ability to move easily. My bones decreased to almost Osteoporosis. My brain is fuzzy and I cannot recall quickly post radiation.

My breast reconstruction has been good so far. I have one more surgery in May as radiation caused one breast to my higher than the other. Radiation was fine and they were kind and very helpful. I have a large number of moles now.

I have terrible headaches every day. I had a tooth removed as they found it had fused with my jaw bone, which may have caused the headaches. I still get headaches and have to take Tylenol 2-3 times a day.

I learned a lot about Oncoscore, Signatera (which I do every quarter) to check that the cancer has not come back. Having a test nest month again.

I did a lot of research. I am 70 years old.

Thank you for listening.
