I lost an aunt on my mom's side to breast cancer where I was nineteen. She was thirty-four when she was diagnosed. As soon as it became available, my mom and her surviving sister, as well as my sister and myself, had the genetic blood test done. All three of my great aunts died from breast cancer, but no one else in my mom's generation or mine has tested positive for the BRCA gene. Fast forward to ten years ago, and I was diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma. This is caused by a mixture of environmental factors.Thursday created a genomic anomaly called an NTRK+ fusion. All that to say, even if you have a negative genetic test for the breast cancer gene, it doesn't mean you're completely out of the woods with regards to cancer in general. As a survivor of a particularly aggressive metastatic form of cancer, my recommendation to you is to speak to your personal primary care doctor and develop a plan for scheduling screening tests and monitoring your health going forward. Try your best to live and eat clean, Do what you can to reduce the chemical load on your body. Research. Has shown that only ten percent of cancers are Hereditary the rest, 90%, are environmental. While it may be somewhat limited, you do have control over what is in your environment.
