Guest guest Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Hi Again all, One thing I failed to mention was that both my father and brother had breast cancer. This is something that seems to be a new concept to a lot of physicians. They rarely ask, " did your father have breast cancer? " I have two sons and a daughter. My daughter tested positive for BRCA2 and has had a prophylactic hysterectomy and anticipates a prophylactic double mastectomy. She's waiting as she is only 46, but she has fabulous health care and is getting regular mammos, sonagrams, mri's, etc. I'm still working on my sons who seem to be high in denial! They fear getting tested, so I have some serious work to do. I think men have a lot more difficulty telling their physicians to check their breasts for lumps.
