Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you were found positive for BRCA2 and that when having a mastectomy you were found to have breast cancer.
Could I recommend a couple of groups for you to join where you can share experiences and support with others who will understand what you're been through.
The first is the very friendly breast cancer group and the second is the BRCA positive group. To join either or both of these groups just click on the links I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the pages that open. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be really useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
