They told me they don't usually do the BRCA testing in older women but offered it to me now since I had another primary. She said that while it may not be that, it is obvious that I have some predisposition to develop breast cancer. They don't just do BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 now...they do a whole genetic profile. To answer your question, it is not a common occurrence to develop another primary cancer, but it does happen.
I totally get your mom....I had to stop my son today. I realize he is upset, but the constant thinking and talking can really be overwhelming. There is just way too much to deal with. Sometimes you just need to think about other things. It is bad enough that I have been given a bunch of options and have no idea which way to go....so many what its. |
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers Linda, and hope things don't get too overwhelming. My mom had to stop me a few times too but eventually I caught on.
