You can laugh :) I have to try to keep a good sense of humor given the family history.


I have not been tested for BRCA, but mom was. Hers was negative, even though she's had breast cancer, so we don't know what to do with that. My grandma (mom's mom) had it 2x, her daughter (mom's sister, my aunt) had it 3x, my mom had it 1x (just 4 years ago), and now my cousin (mom's sister, my aunt's daughter) has it. She just had her lumpectomy today. She's 41, exact same age as I. We used to be comforted by what doctors said in that there's a huge difference between post-menopausal breast cancer and pre-menopausal cancer as all my family had it post-, and my cousin now has it pre-. So my sister and I aren't overjoyed by this.
