genetic testing??

My sister is talking about getting tested for BRCA 1 and 2.

If I have a reoccurrence I will definitely be tested.
Right now I do not want to be tested because I don’t think I would have a bilateral and remove my ovaries. If I had cancer again I would be more open to that.
What’s the point in knowing if you aren’t going to take action? A negative could give you false confidence – most cancers are not hereditary.
