This is interesting. Where are you finding your information on CHEK2? I have tried to find out more about the mutation but have not been very successful. I was not told anything about radiation causing cancer if a person has this mutation. My mutation is p.R137*. I sure would like to find more information about it. The genetic counselor did not specify anything other than it increases my chance of getting breast and colon cancer. How do I find understandable information about this.

@sandyjr, I've been using Google and internet searches. But you're right. Most of the information comes from research studies and journals. There's not much info in layman's language unfortunately. The link in my post above is pretty comprehensive and not too hard to understand, not easy, but not too hard.
