[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it would be helpful for the woman to know her risk of breast cancer (i.e., whether she carries either of the BRCA genes). However, I am certain she has already been advised of this, since her mom died from BC, so you should be assured that she knows important health history.

When I was diagnosed with BC, I met with a geneticist who ran tests on me. I was negative for either of the BRCA genes, but if I'd come back positive, there was a plan in place - guided by the geneticist - to inform my adult daughters and son.[/quote]
+1 it would be helpful for the girlfriend to know her risk.  I don't think you should say anything to the her but you can educate your son about BC and BRCA genes so he knows about the science.[/quote]

Than you. I would never talk to her about this . I will wait for another year to talk to my child.

And you’re going to say what to him?[/quote]

"Son, it's time to confirm that I have not the remotest ability to stay in my own lane. I can't imagine that this will in any way damage my relationship with you."[/quote]

OMG THIS. The girlfriend knows the risk. She lost her mother when she was very young. There can be serious psychological ramifications to having this testing done and it is none of your dang business when and whether she does it. It would not even be your business if they were married. Just stop. [/quote]
