Thank you Promethease! : promethease

Promethease may have saved my life.

I stumbled across Promethease while searching to web for a cheaper alternative to the mainstream ‘Health’ DNA tests, I was curious about what my raw data from Ancestry could tell me about my health- especially because of my previous Thyroid cancer diagnosis.

I couldn’t believe it when I saw that it would only cost $11 to get a report, I decided to go for it without hesitation. And oh boy did I not expect what I would see in the report.

At the very top of the list was BRCA 2. I’ve heard of the mutation but I never thought I would have it, never. I’m not somebody doctors would consider high risk at all. Absolutely no family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Yet there it was. I consulted with my doctor, who recommended clinical genetic testing.

It was confirmed. I have the BRCA 2 gene mutation with absolute certainty. My risk for breast and ovarian cancer is so high that the recommended course of action is to have a prophylactic mastectomy and my ovaries removed, which thankfully will reduce the risk of cancer by up to 98%.

Without Promethease I NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN! As I mentioned, I had no red flags or reasons for my doctor to think I should be screened more often or start mammograms earlier than usual.

I very much believe that Promethease may have saved my life. I now have the opportunity to take action, utilize all of the preventative measures available.

If not for Promethease I wouldn’t have found out about this BRCA 2 gene until it was too late.

So, thank you. Thank you for existing and thank you for offering this service for only $11.
