[quote=Anonymous]I personally know three women in their late 30s who did get preventative mastectomies. BC runs in their families and they had one of the genes, so when they were done having kids/breastfeeding, they had the surgery. I would do the same if I knew I was at increased risk. For my friends it was covered by insurance, I don’t think that would be the case if they didn’t have the gene and family history. My friends are also lucky to be able to take time off work, they also have involved husbands and parents who were able to pitch in with their kids. [/quote]
