[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could be anything and it's usually nothing, but you should know that there is a strong link between ovarian and breast cancer. [b]You should be tested for the BRCA gene mutation to help determine your risk for either cancer.[/b] Your doctor will tell you this.[/quote] No, you shouldn't. You should talk to your doctor about your risk factors and see if you are at all in the risk pool before getting the test. It's massively expensive. BRCA cancers generally occur before menopause, so if the history of ovarian cancer happened post-menopause, it's likely not BRAC related.[/quote] They were all in their 20's when they had the diagnoses of cancer, so pre-menopause. I don't even know when I will go in to menopause, because I have no one to go by, is mother. [/quote]
