I always thought that having family have it doesn’t mean it’s real likely for me to get it, but somewhat likely. Then one of the specialists at a convention mention that they found that if your father or close relative like that, had it, you have more than 100% higher chance of getting it. My father died of it and I got it at 62 because my mother gave me BRCA2. My brother got it at 77 because of my father, and not having BRCA2 he got it when he was older.

I ran into so many people at the nine meetings I go to every month, that have a parent or uncle or brother that had it and now they have it and their brothers have it. It’s frustrating they can’t find a genetic reason for this, Something specific like BRCA2. Some day they will find it, and then find a way to stop it.
