[quote=Anonymous]I did the full genetic testing due to family cancer history and insurance covered it. Negative on all fronts. My ob/gyn encouraged me to get the testing because of family history. Interestingly, my GP (at that time) did not encourage it. He was a bit of an a&&. Despite him being an a&&, he asked me what I would do differently if the testing was negative or if it was positive. He pointed out that people do get breast cancer and otherwise without have these identified genetic risks. He didn't want me to let me guard down if the results came back negative. I'm not "letting my guard down" but I do appreciate his perspective (he's still an a&&).[/quote]
