[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous]Op here My reservations re. Genetic testing were because: If it’s negative then I wasted my money - I was fine anyways. If it’s positive then it will give me anxiety - shoot, I have the gene! Doctors did not really discuss preemptive strategies like surgeries mentioned in this discussion forum - I guess they save it for later when there are testing results…. With feedback above I’m of course reconsidering lots… [/quote] OP I hope you were referred to a genetic counselor and will not just get genetic testing. A counselor will examine your family history and make a recommendation about testing. They will answer your questions, address your anxiety etc. And if you are positive, they will help you understand what your options are. I would strongly encourage you to make an appointment. Knowledge is power.[/quote] Yes, was referred to both. That insurance covers then is helpful.[/quote]
