@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.

Type Google Scholar onto your Google search bar. It will take you to 100's of articles about Chek2.

Yes. My husband had me set up a Google Alert for anastrozole (which is how I found all of you!) and also an alert for BRIP1 where I have a mutation that is a variant of unknown significance (VUS) meaning they don’t know for sure if it’s benign or pathogenic for ovarian cancer. They are not sure if it’s related to breast cancer either, but more likely ovarian. At my age I would be delighted to take it all out because I don’t even want to think about it but since it’s unknown, I can’t be proactive.
