Hello,
wondering if any other lady of a similar age is in my position.
I found out last week I am BRCA2+ following testing after my mum’s diagnosis of stage 3 high grade serous ovarian cancer last Nov. She’s completed chemo, NED, and is now on olaparib and bevizicumab for the next 2 years.
i have a call with the genetics team to discuss my options and formulate a risk assessment specific to me; and I’ve also been referred for a high risk MRI. While it’s good to know this sort of thing to be able to plan to prevent, it’s also pretty terrifying and I am scared they’ll pick something up on the MRI. Wouldn’t be the first to find something while no other symptoms present after all…
Trying to keep busy and keep my mind off it, and have already asked to have my fallopian tubes removed; she wouldn’t refer me for that until after our call in a few weeks. I guess I just want to know if anyone else opted for fallopian tube removal or did the ovaries too? I’ve heard medically induced menopause can be incredibly rough so I’m not really sure what to do.
Thanks in advance x
