This is a community for all breast cancer victims in every sense of the word. I want to set up a group that can communicate and pass along useful information for survivors, family, and friends about this horrible disease affecting many of us today whether directly or indirectly. I myself have been a victim of breast cancer when my mother was diagnosed 3 years ago. Along with her I have also had many other relatives die at a young age of one, the other, and even both. Through my family’s medical record we have discovered a genetic test that can distinguish a mutation on the BRCA 1 gene ( there is also a BRCA 2 gene) which increases a person’s risk of breast AND ovarian cancer. This gene test is not known well but that is why I have started this group- to increase awareness of breast and ovarian cancer risks and information. So feel free to post informative information and show support for those who seek it. I am willing to speak with anyone on this subject so feel free to message me.
