I was diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene and my mom and grandmother died of ovarion cancer. I chose to have a complete hysterectomy and just had both breasts removed three weeks ago. It still really hurts and I am so emotional, I really hope I did the right thing. I know I did, but I still wonder. None of my other family members have the gene except me, which is a good thing. The only thing that worries me is now my two boys might have the gene, they have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the gene, then they have to worry about Prostate Cancer. Keep on smiling everyone, I will one day again, after all this pain.
