[quote=Anonymous]My mother did the testing, but only because her mother died young of breast cancer, and other relatives on that side also had had cancers that can be related. One thing to think about: genetic tests are looking for specific known genes that can make people susceptible for cancer. We can't test for all of them, and we can't test for non-genetically linked diseases. I think there can be a false sense of security in getting "good" results on such a test, because it doesn't mean you are guaranteed good health! In your situation, I'd focus on healthy habits and not spend money on genetic testing.[/quote]
