This has happened so quick, my ex husband (father to all kids) diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer. His family new of this gene but ‘forgot’ to tell him he needed testing!! He is 51 and diagnosed in 2021. So far 2 of the kids have been tested and one has been confirmed as having the BRCA gene, she is 21 x I feel a mix of emotions, anger, hurt, sadness, She is a beautiful girl inside and out, how can I be strong enough to support my babies through this xx
Hi Misses O
That must have been such a shock for you and your children to discover that they may have inherited the BRCA gene.
I don't have any answers for how you can be strong enough to support your children but just know that as a mother you will be.
Sending a supportive (((hug)))
