Have you gone for BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic testing? - OvaCare
Have you gone for BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic testing?
No was advised not to as not necessary when my family history was discussed.
Yes gone for genetic testing results in 5 weeks. A lot of family cancer, breast and now me ovarian. Results a forgone conclusion for BRCA 2, so i was told on the day.
Where did you go to get the test and how much did it cost
Referred by onocologist to Crumlin Genetics in Our Ladys Hospital Dublin and its free.
Thank you very much, will consider having the test done.
hi all, i dont know how to go about going for this test, can anyone help me out. I lost my mam to ovarian cancer in october 2012. thanks a mill. kaz
Yes - was referred for it after triple negative breast cancer 2008, followed by OC stage 1c 2010. Also family history. Came back negative. Just got OC recurrence in lymph nodes. Consultant and I both have a feeling there's maybe a different gene.
