How to figure out the chances of carrying the cancer gene?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First, visit your MD: Or gyn and ask if you should see a professional with expertise in risk assessment and genetic testing. Not everybody needs to be tested. In killeen, you could be seen at the great (genetic risk evaluation and testing) program run by texas oncology (disclaimer: i belong to their steering committee) or be seen by the genetic clinic at scott & white. They also have a fine program. Best to you.
