[quote=Anonymous]My concern with this discussion is that I don’t know what research will satisfy all. It seems the info from MDAnderson wasn’t good enough. My take is the research and recommendations will constantly change. Did I get BC at 54 because I had spent 8 years on BCPs? Maybe? Or is it that I have two unusual genes, not BRCA 1 or 2. (Do you know the genetic panel now has at least 29 genes to be tested?) It turns out that one of those genes gives me a significant increase in the likelihood of ovarian cancer. Did I cause my BrCa, but stave off Ovarian Ca? How likely is it that under 40 breast cancer is due to BCPs? Or due to less surveillance, due to lower incidence. How much should be spent on medical tests (to test all women) when the incidence is far less than 1% of women under 40? https://www.breastcancer.org/symptoms/understand_bc/risk/understanding[/quote]
