Hi @lynniesf, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Wow, you and your sister really have quite the story. Am I understanding correctly that you both tested positive for having genetic risk and you both elected to have preventative mastectomies? She remains cancer-free, but you were diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in 2016. Is that correct?

Yes you got that correct. I have metastatic disease now in bones, lung and brain. I am on active IV chemo. She is my biggest support.
