Julie Shares If She Was Positive For The BRCA1 Gene (VIDEO)

Julie:

Because of the breast cancer I was also, they recommended I get genetically tested because I have, my mother passed away from breast cancer at 38. So we knew it was potentially in our family, and then several cousins got diagnosed, so then I had the genetic test, and I tested positive for the BRCA1 gene which gives you a higher rate of ovarian and breast cancer.
