Hi Everyone,
After breast cancer I was gene tested and my result was BRCA 1 positive but with a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS.) My oncologist has told me that a second mastectomy isn't advised/necessary for now and to keep up with genetic testing updates. My gynacoogist has recommended a hysterectomy and ovary removal because a womb fibroid, I have already had removed twice, has doubled in size over the past nine months.
Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat and your experience?
