High Risk Mutation (ie. BRCA, ATM, RAD51D)

I am BRCA1 and BRCA2. I had TNBC in the left breast and ER+ in the right breast. My maternal grandmother had ovarian cancer, my sister had ER+ breast cancer years ago and my brother had prostate and pancreatic cancer. After my diagnosis, my sister tested positive on BRCA1 and BRCA2. My brother never had the genetic test. I had chemo, bilateral mastectomy and hysterectomy. My daughter (30 yo) tested positive on BRCA1 (but not 2). She is being watched carefully every 6 months. When she is 40, they recommend hysterectomy. She does not have children yet, so no treatment at this time unless she develops breast cancer. It is odd that my mother and her 2 sisters have never had cancer.

Wow! I haven't met anyone yet with both BRCA1 & 2 (although I have heard of it)! Do you live in Rochester? I'd love to meet you. 🙂
