Where can my mother get a rapid BRCA Test?

Hello everyone,

My mother needs a BRCA test however the one offered by NHS takes 6 weeks to get the results and we need the result sooner as her operation is in a few weeks. This is to decide between a full double mastectomy or not. 

Does anyone know of any where that offers quick results turned around privately? I have Googled but it mostly says 4-6 weeks.

Thank you. 

  • Hi HK1989 and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    Hopefully some of our members who have accessed a BRCA test privately will stop by shortly to tell you more about their experiences and let you know how quickly their results came through but if you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our cancer nurses about this, they're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you're able to find somewhere that can give you a quicker turnaround time soon and wish your mother all the best with the next stage of her treatment.

    Best wishes to you both,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
