Last reply: 14 February 2024 10:05

Hi out there
Waiting 2 weeks now for my breast biopsy results breast cancer as a normal doesn't run in either side of my families but my mother's sister did die of ovarian cancer which is worrying me that I might have the gene from my mammogram through ultrasound I was told that whatever it is that's there will definitely have to be removed its small by all accounts just so hopefully its got in time just want to know out there some info about this genetic gene and If I do carry it what happens next thank you

Hi

I am sorry to read of the anxious time you are going through. We are all cancer nurses here on this support line and we would very much like to speak to you about how you are and about your results. 

We can also talk to you about the BRCA gene & hear from you, your family history. 

We also have cancer nurses in many hospitals around the country in our Daffodil Centres who you could meet in person.

It would be great if you could phone us and we could guide you through this. Our phone number is 1800 200 700 and we are here Mon-Fri 9-5pm. 

I do hope we will hear from you

Kind regards

Cancer Nurse
