hi
5 yrs ago my mum had breast cancer they picked it up through a mamagram. She fine now. Did not have to have chemo only radiothearpy.
I worry that i could also get this. I had a lump removed last year it was a papaloma begnin.
I am scared that i could have the gene for breast cancer although when i asked about that the consultant said that because my mum was in her 60's when she got it it does not put me at any greater risk. My mum was adopted so i dont know if it is in her family.
I no there is a test you can have done but im to frightened to have it in case they tell me i have the gene then what do i do have my breasts and overies removed, im really not that brave.
anyone got any comments on this.
