Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry! My mother's side is where this came from. There's generational breast cancer, Colon cancer & thyroid cancer that runs rapid in that side of family. But my dad's mom had bc at age 90 & had breast removed with no treatment & lived to be 106! And my dad had prostate cancer in '92 & beat it but in 2014 was diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer & died in '2017.
I've lost many people in my family to bc & thyroid & colon cancer. Not many left to ask questions to. But al of us cousins have been tested & out of 8 cousins, 4 have the chek2 gene.
Good luck to you. I pray we can all find the right Dr's to help us make the best decision for our health!! It's frustrating when my Drs say - We don't know or have that much information on it cause it's so rare!! So they just tell me to do surgery after surgery taking out organs. I'm definitely tired!!
And I have hysterectomy coming up in October to look forward to with out estrogen replacement! Ugh. I will be soon doing the Radioiodine treatment from my thyroid cancer & NOT looking forward to it. My Oncologist suggested I do it but my Endocrinologist doesn't want to due to the risk of others cancer popping up from it. Ugh... Frustrating!! I can't go to Mayo due to my insurance, so my oncologist is sending my medical records up there to them to get advice on what to do. I see him next month for those results. Crossing fingers I get some news back!!
Thank you again for sharing. Blessings to you and your family.
