That makes sense. My mom was the first one to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer and that was 8 years ago. Since then, we've had no less than 6 women test positive for the BRCA-1 mutation, 2 of which have ovarian cancer.
This just goes to show you how important gene testing is. If the first person diagnosed gets tested for the gene, it paves the way for all the generations to come.
We never knew! If we had, my mom and her cousin could've escaped this horrible disease.
