Thanks so much for commenting. Yeah, I ...Hi Eileen! Thanks so much for commenting. Yeah, I get both sides of getting tested for sure. Didn't know what the risks were for make cancers though, so I learned something today! But yeah, I like having the choice to doit or not. Would be v unhappy if it became mandatory. And apparently my oncology team knows me very well, cause they don't mention it or hound me to get it done. It never comes up anymore. Thankfully.

I'm okay with leaving things the way they are but many women would not be. Personally, I completely support your decision to not want to know and for too many reasons than I could put in a comment. One thing is that it sparked my brother and twin nieces to get tested, all 3 of which tested positive. (Men are at increased risk for prostate and pancreatic cancer.) I can see where it gave my niece a mindset that says she's doomed to get it. Honestly, I'm glad my own daughter was not tested. I'd rather she just be vigilant and try to avoid putting crap into her body, just in case, but I don't want her walking around feeling like she's marked for a certain future.eileen@womaninthehathttp://www.womaninthehat.comnoreply@blogger.com
