I'm curious about how they test for this. Can anyone here enlighten me??.... Juliec Thu, 09 Sep 2004 00:00:00 GMT I had blood drawn this week for the same test. I was told there is only one lab in the U.S. that does this genetic screening, and that it takes about 4-weeks to get the results. The lab is Myriad and their website is www.myriadtests.com, hope this helps. Mary Maryl Wed, 26 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT I had this test done. Thank goodness I had neither gene. Now I do not worry about my two daughters, my mom and my sister. I cried when I found out both were negative. I had my test done through Grant Hospital in Columbus. It is something I think every women should have as a preventative measure. Did you end up doing the test? Tina Tinas Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT  On 1/19/2006 Tinas wrote:I had this test done.

I will be starting chemo next week then radiation.  I lost both Mom and sister to breast cancer,both in early to late 40`s. I am in mid 60`s but want to make sure everything is caught. I had no lymph gland involvemnt or surrounding tissue but because of the hormones were negative and her2 neg I ahd what appeared to Dr. to be a aggressive tumor . I was told to have this testing done also because of family history and will start this Friday, at least then my daughters cn maybe benefit from it. Godd luck to you and your family gramdma55 Thu, 13 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT
