[quote=Anonymous]I went through genetic counseling because I have LCIS which significantly elevates my breast cancer risk. I found the process interesting, although I think it’s really important to consider in advance what you will do with information about risk if you get it and it’s positive. I definitely found waiting for the call back pretty anxiety provoking, not even so much for myself but because of the implications for my daughter. In the end I was grateful to test negative for the whole high-risk panel for breast and GYN cancers. I could have done an expanded panel that looked for risk for all kinds of other things but I declined it. I don’t remember the cost I don’t think it was bank breaking tho.[/quote]
