Family history of breast cancer : grandmother (deceased), mother, sister, cousin (deceased).
I was informed yesterday during a genetics meeting that I have tested positive for the BRCA 2 gene. I was due to start radiotherapy following a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. They said I could be monitored via mammograms in the future, but my lobular cancer was missed on my mammogram before I found the lump during self examination. Therefore I will be having a double mastectomy and reconstruction and my ovaries removed. It's a lot to take in!
Anyone had anything similar?
