Comment on BRCA-patient survey by runalot

The survey is now at 248 recipients. I am speechless. Thank you.
I would like to remind everyone to get a skin cancer check. Today I found out that I have a small Basal Cell Ca on my chest, it has been there for quite a while, but hey– who is looking?
It is easily removed and treated with Mohs Surgery and I know it is not a big deal, however that does not mean it should have been ignored.
So please take some time to look for small pink lesions with a pearly sheen to them, and get a biopsy. Squamous Cell skin cancer has a scaly look, and then of course there is melanoma… which is totally different and much more serious.
Please don’t forget to find a dermatologist to check you out.

219 people have responded. WOW!
Overall very positive results, many from young women below 34. I hope this gives others who are coming to terms with their genetic outcome, the confidence they need to know about how others feel, and perhaps support their decision.
