Thank you for this information. I hadn't realized that the cancer woes in my family could all be linked. My Maternal Great Grandmother had breast cancer, my maternal grandmother had intestinal cancer, my mother was just diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and my younger brother has been fighting undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (rarest of the rare) for 18 months. I'm going to see if my VA Health Care Provider will get me this testing. I worry for myself, my sister and my nephew!

Sorry to hear about the family history. You definitely qualify for genetic testing and it could provide very useful information for you and your family.

My dad and his dad both got liver and esophagus cancer but both drank and smoked heavily so how do I know if it's genetic?

@CancerGC 6 месяцев назад

alcohol and tobacco use are big big risk factors for cancer so your family history might be entirely attributed to that but if there’s additional family history of cancer it might be a good idea to see a genetic counselor to determine if genetic testing is recommended for you

I just had BRCA testing since my sister just passed away from breast cancer last November at age 45. Fortunately my test was negative but still there are a lot of other factors that testing does not cover. Bad news fir me my insurance is now refusing G to pay h go it the testing saying it was completelyunnecessary and just experimental!!😡 being as I’m currently bro g monitored for a small cluster of masses in my left breast I just don’t understand how insurance can do this 😢

I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister. And sorry the insurance company is giving you problems. You meet the NCCN criteria for genetic testing based on your family history so it is definitely not unnecessary or experimental. I suggest reaching out to the genetic testing lab directly - when insurance doesn’t pay for whatever reason, the lab will often work with patients and many end up not paying anything out of pocket.
