But consultant wants me to have cancer gene test as anyone had one and what does it involve. Do I need to be worried I have lost so many of my family to this vile illness thanks
Hello busy bee , I haven’t had a gene test but just wanted to say that I am so pleased for you that you don’t need any more treatment, it’s fantastic news. It’s so good to see someone come through t other side

It was reported in the news about 2 months ago as a future possibility. It's not standard yet, or offered to everyone. It was muted as a possible screening test for any cancer. Let me see if I can find the link for you.
Edit on 25th April: I found the link to the Guardian newspaper articles and posted it here. They must have been subsequently deleted.
