Good evening ladies, had my 100,000 genomes project result today and I have been identified with
Germaline RAD51C heterozygous
Have an appointment with genetics to discuss pros and cons of preventative gynaecological surgery but not recommended any additional breast preventive surgery.
Anyone else had this?
Least it’s only 1 Week to wait for my appointment.....
I have also been diagnosed with this gene. I am just wondering where this leaves is in the future regarding risk of breast/ovarian cancer? I don’t qualify for immunotherapy being negative for the braca gene but this now places me at a higher risk of reoccurance. I have an appointment this month with genetics so can discuss my concerns there.as I am really concerned about the risk
