Mutant genes CHEK2 and ATM
Asked by theresarae on Wednesday, May 25, 2022
Mutant genes CHEK2 and ATM
I have had two bouts with breast cancer. Because of the mutant genes, I started with preventative testing. After the first Ct scan they found a tumor on my left kidney. It was malignant. The gene testing saved my life. Has anyone had experiences with gene testing ? Did you get one or more of the cancers the genes represent?

I was tested for the BRCA mutations and found I don’t have either.
I hope others here can give you better info.

I have not had any genetic testing. My insurance would not cover it. I am so glad that it has helped you.

No one has ever even talked to me about gene testing? I intend to ask at my next appointment.

I also had the testing but turned out to have no genetic indicators. Glad it was helpful for you. Things work out in ways we never imagine.
