    Thanks for posting besa. I'm BRCA1 with breast and prostate cancers and am hoping the cancers stop there.

    The worst thing for BRCA men is that they are not included in any public screening programs, rather they are left to fend for themselves. The later diagnosis leads to a worse prognosis.
