My mother(60) and grandmother(47) both died from Ovarian Cancer many years ago. I had the genetic testing done almost 15 years ago, and as I suspected, I was positive for the BRCA 1 mutation. Next step was a (complete)Total Histerectomy, at the age of 40.
Just 10 months ago, after some Atypical Hyperplasia groths in both breasts were detected, I opted for a Bilateral Mastectomy with the Abdominal Flap Reconstruction. Everything went well, just awaiting the final construction procedure.
Thank G'd for modern Technology and innovative Physicians!!!
Please, be on top of your health, if possible get that genetic test done and save yourself a lot of nightmares.
