BRCA 1 Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

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?

  • Hello  

    I am Brian, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community. I have just noticed your post has gone unanswered. I can't answer it myself as I have a different cancer, however by me replying you post will be "bumped up" to the top of the page and I hope seen and answered by other members of the BRACA positive group.

    Have you considered posting this question in the breast cancer group?

    I wish you well moving forward.

    Best wishes - Brian.
