Wednesday, when I meet with the genetic counselor, I hope to have some answers to many of these questions.
Studies do show that women who are BRCA 1 or 2 positive tend to have better results, treatment -wise. Of course, the downside to that is they are at risk of passing on the mutated gene to successive generations.0 -

Thank-you for your comment. I saw a different oncologist Monday who didn't seem to have an opinion which knocked my positivity & confidence. It is a nice thought that this gene can help me win the fight. I will be seeing my own oncologist in 2 weeks so I will see what he has to say about it.0
