@jodymattinen I was disappointed in 2016 with stage 4 breast cancer, 41 years old tested positive for the gene and decided to have a doubt masectomy with no reconstruction. I am now metastatic in lungs, bones and brain.
My sister then was tested for the gene and was positive. She does not have cancer, but she elected to do a preventive double masectomy with reconstruction. She is Very happy. Knowing that she is able to reduce risk is a mental life saver for her. Sometimes she wishes she didnt have reconstruction. The reconstruction is multiple surgeries. But they look good now and she is happy.
