Hello Everyone

I am new here but I received treatment for triple negative breast cancer throughout 2016. So far I am well, so I hope I can give hope to other people on the forum.

During my appointments I was always able to tell hospital staff that there was no history of breast cancer in my family but both of my sisters subsequently got breast cancer. Neither of them had tnbc but one of my nieces has asked me if I had genetic testing for BRCA1. I cannot remember being told about it if I was.

Has anyone got any up to date information please?

Thank you and good luck xx
