Inherited BRCA1 gene alteration

So I've received my results about 2 weeks ago now waiting for an appointment to discuss them. I've rung genetics and the appointment isn't till September. I'm so anxious already I've got to wait another 4 months. Who can I talk to . I don't know what to do ? 

  • As I noticed your post hadn'd received a reply yet I wanted to stop by and say hello, Ferne91.

    I'm sorry to hear that the wait for your appointment is causing, understandably, a great level of anxiety. Unfortunately this is something our members here can relate very well and I hope that some of them will come along shortly to share their stories with you and offer advice.

    In the mean time, if you feel that speaking with someone medically trained might help, please know that our team of nurses would be happy to take your call. They're available on this phone number 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

    Best wishes,
