BRCA 2 positive

Hello everyone!

Family history of breast cancer : grandmother (deceased), mother, sister, cousin (deceased), me.

I was recently due to start radiotherapy following a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy for ILC/IDC but that was cancelled following a genetics meeting with my bc nurse where I was informed I was positive for the BRCA 2 gene.  I am therefore now having a double mastectomy with reconstruction and my ovaries removed.  

Has anyone been through something similar?

Many thanks, Jo xx
