Difficult to get my head around. Mother has gene and ovarian cancer. Family history of ovarian and breast cancer going back three generations. Twin sister is negative. I’m 46 and have a six year old. Feeling overwhelming guilt I may have passed onto her even though it is only 50% chance. She can’t be tested till she is 18, don’t think I can wait that long to find out
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I haven't been in your position, as the type of cancer I had isn't hereditary, but I do understand how worried you may be feeling right now.
I noticed that no one in this group has come forward yet to talk to you so replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list. While you're waiting for replies you could have a look through some of the more recent posts and reply to any where you feel the poster might be able to offer you some support.
