I was only recently diagnosed but. The doctor wanted me to talk to a genetics counselor. I filled out a questionnaire on family history etc. The lady called me yesterday and we went over everything. So when I go in for surgery they are going to draw blood for the genetics testing. There is no history of pancreatic cancer in my family (as far as I know) And only very few family members who have ever had cancer. . Should be interesting to see what it shows. She said it takes about three weeks to get the results.
