Referred to Genetic Team
Referred to Genetic Team hi Everyone,
i had a lump on my breast biopsied yesterday, will find out my results on friday.
When i was there i mentioned that i had a maternal aunt who carried a breast cancer gene and recently died of cancer. She has been the only member of the family to have the disease. I was under the impression that this put me at no higher risk than anyone else. however, he referred me to the genetic team which i was very shocked about. have lots of other female cousins and they have not been referred. neither has my mum (her sister) or my sister. Any idea why this would be.
He has said that he is 99% certain that i don’t have breast cancer, so why am i being referred? Really thought i was at no higher risk.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
