Have you had hereditary, genetic testing? Breast cancer and prostate cancer can be caused by a genetic problem called BRCA2 The occasionally BRCA1 has that problem as well.
If you do have that genetic problem, there is a drug specifically for it, So you want to get tested? It also is important because if you have children or nieces and nephews and that family Line, they could have it and should be able to know to be tested.

I had genetic testing. I don't have BRCA1 or 2. I do have a mutated PALB2 gene. Geneticist said the jury is out on whether or not it has an affect on prostate cancer. My daughter has the PALB2 mutation and is taking precautions.
