Hi I'm new to the group and not sure if I'm in the right place as I do not have breast cancer. I had ovarian cancer 2 yrs ago and since had genetic testing, which found a BRCA 2 mutation which puts me at high risk for breast cancer. I am considering risk reducing surgery with a double mastectomy. I was wondering if anybody else has been in this position and be grateful of any advise for going forward.

Morning ladies I've mentioned your query on the awake site hopefully someone on there can help you . Try posting on chemo and radiotherapy threads somebody on there may have had experience they can share .
There are discussions about this on a UK DIEP and an international hormone+ forum on another website with the letter F;)
