BRCA2

[jjsj]

So does anyone else have a positive BRCA2 status? Ever heard of a connection to ependymoma?

jjsj,

The only thing I know is that ependymoma's can be either primary or secondary tumors. The cells it is made up of determines the status. Spinal Cord Fluid cells would make it primary and cell from other parts of the body would make it secondary. You might try researching from that angle.

Take care.

The Dr usually checks for this whether being primary or 2ndary. I remember him saying this to me that it isn't from my breast as they checked for this. Does anyone know if ependymona's can go to the brain..worry about this as my head hurts and is still stiff from surgery, Maybe it is the neurotin that makes my head feel funny, kind'a have thought this. Anyone have any unusual feelings from neurontin?

Thanks. I also asked on the FORCE website (BRCA mutations), and someone mentioned the STAG2 gene being linked to Ewings sarcoma and glioblastoma.
