My aunt has cancer in her family. She has lost her mother, three siblings, and 5 nieces/nephews to cancer (plus two more who had cancer and survived). She’s in her early 50s and has the Bracca gene. When she went to ask for a preventative double mastectomy the insurance company said no bc “there isn’t enough history”. For her, it wasn’t a matter of if but when she gets cancer. She finally got cancer two years ago and luckily responded well to treatment but the fact that having almost 10 close blood relatives doesn’t qualify her for preventive treatment is insane. Health insurance is ridiculous in this country
