Hi
Your family really has been hit hard by cancer. No wonder you feel like this.
Genetic testing might well be a good idea, especially with your two sisters both having breast cancer. I’m not an expert but I think in general the testing would need to start with your sister who’s had the cancer. Have you discussed this with her?
It might help to start by reading this information about genetic testing from the Macmillan site
Good luck!
