Partly because I have to pay a whole pile of money for the testing (testing is only free if you have enough risk factors, and I don’t), but also because I don’t believe there is a genetic component to my cancer, it’s just bad luck. It also affects more people than just me, and some of them don’t want to know either.

If you have a gene mutation,then you’re at risk of ovarian cancer,which is a lot harder to “cure” by the time it’s discovered.

Unfortunately that’s half my fear – coming back negative and then everyone gets lulled into a false sense of security. A negative result does not mean no cancer gene, it just means you don’t have any of the cancer genes that have so far been discovered and you were tested for. There are new ones being found all the time.

This was a huge relief for her four sisters, two daughters, three nieces, and one granddaughter.
