There is just too much that is unknown. I have had Ovarian cancer death in my family. This gave me the ability to get the free BRCA test because Ovarian cancer is a big red flag..much more than breast cancer. (so is being an Ashkenazi Jew which I am not.)

I was negative. My DNA tests indicate increased risk for ovarian cancer due to various variations.

Then last year they thought I had ovarian cancer. All the Doctors were sure that was the problem ..although they didnt come right out and say I had it because you have to wait for the pathology report

No ovarian cancer. However, had I used talcum powder as an adult maybe it would have switched on.

The genetic risk is there. It just didn’t switch on yet for me.

I wonder what the best health régime is for preventing cancer being triggered. It seems like after all these years of cancer research we would have more specific advice than eat parsley, fruits, and vegetables — get plenty of sunshine — get plenty of exercise, etc.

There were two identical twin neurosurgeons in Nashville. One twin developed intestinal cancer and died while the other remained completely healthy for years after that. They must of had the same genetic risk yet only one developed the disease.
