thanks for the reple, Kbeee. After some thought and consultation I’ve decided on a BMX as well. My genetics weren’t the only factor, but they were a big one.

I have Chek2. My mother has not been tested. She had BC at 59 and a 2nd new one at 75. Her sister, my aunt, had BC. 3 first cousins had BC all less than 50 yr old. I was 44 at my own diagnosis. One male cousin died of prostrate cancer at 37. One female cousin died from a very rare cancer at a young age as well. 11 female first cousins and 4 had breast cancer , one had a rare cancer. That is almost 50% of us having cancer. One first cousin once removed has had breast cancer and an aggressive soft tissue cancer. But, My own mother was treated for BC 2X and is still alive and doing very well 89 yr. old. Screening is your friend!
