[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any recos, but I do have a friend who tested positive for the gene, which meant she had an 80% chance of breast cancer. She had an elective double mastectomy and hasn't looked back. Apparently she also has a 50% chance of ovarian cancer, which would likely not be caught in time to cure even with aggressive monitoring, so she recently had her ovaries removed as well. She is unmarried and has no kids, but she has frozen her eggs and still hopes to be a mom someday. It's such a tough thing, but I know she is ultimately glad she found out and could make an informed decision.[/quote]
