Genetic counseling
You may want to find out if you are carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, a genetic marker that can indicate a higher risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer. If you have been diagnosed with either and carry the gene, the risk factor is raised for your daughters and granddaughters. The gene can also be carried and passed on by male members of the family. You can find more information at the NIH website. In addition, there are genetic counseling programs available around Colorado where you and your family can talk about your options for genetic testing.
