I have just been referred by my GP for BRCA 1&2 testing following a discussion re family history after my dad passing due to aggressive pancreatic cancer - him mum also passed due to pancreatic cancer (increased risk associated with the BRCA genes) and both of his sisters developed breast cancer in their 40s. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself as I don’t even know if there will be a positive result but the doctor mentioned options following a positive result such as double mastectomy and removal of ovaries. I am in my 20s and have not yet had any children, so wondering what usually happens and what my options might be, can you wait and look at these surgeries later or are there other options?
