Genetic Testing

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 I found out that I have no BRCA 1 and 2 genetic mutation. My mother tested negative 10 years ago and now I have been tested too.
The upside is that I have not passed on this mutation to my daughter. Since breast cancer is quite prevalent in my family, they think I do have a genetic mutation but none that they know about, as of yet. I probably don't need to get my ovaries taken out and I would be a good candidate for further testing if they learn about other mutations in the genetic make up.
She said I should call back in 2 years.
