Hmm. Was doing some reading tonight on the prevalence of breast cancer in Australian women and have to admit I was a bit shocked. It’s amazing to think that you have about a one in 30 chance of contracting this, dropping to less than one in 6 if you have a family history. Apparently there’s gene tests that can be done to see if you have faulty TP53 or BRCA1/2 genes which give you a much increased risk of contraction. But would you want to know? Is having a statistical inclination to contract a disease enough to make plans based on the fact you might contract it?
