My family has a massive history of diseases of all kinds. Just on my dad's side there is low blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer and alcoholism. My mom's side also has alcoholism and breast cancer and, in addition, my mom has rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Then there are all the things my dad has due to alcoholism and both sides having depression and anxiety. Plus my sister had ovarian cysts which I also have had a history of so at 18 I already had reproductive issues.

I looked it up and some sites said the test could cost as much as 2500. There are some that only test for the 3 most common mutations that are much less. I would ask my aunt if she has been tested but her and my mom are not on speaking terms and I don't want to open any doors right now. I'm trying to stay out of their way as much as possible.

We'll see. My mom just switched the Blue Cross Blue Shield and they seem to cover more than our old United Healthcare did. So she is going to call and see, considering the family history, if they would cover any of it. If not then who knows.
