Hi Amanda I also had family history of breast cancer, but do not have a very large family. My mum had BC and passed away at 27, my maternal nan also had BC in her 60's. My GP referred me to Oxford for genetic testing which they refused as not enough cancer in the family!! However in the meantime I too had BC, they then decided to see me. I don't have the BRCA gene but my genetic councellor did other tests and found I have the CHEK2 gene mutation which is not as well known as the BRCA. I had 2 breast tumours, so opted for a double mastectomy with recon, thankfully I didn't need any radio or chemo, just on Tamoxifen now for 10 years. Can I ask where you had your genetic testing done? Please ask if I can help with anything, best wishes Erica
