[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you are being completely reasonable and responsible. My close friend tested positive for a BRCA mutation and had a double mastectomy at 30 years old. She watched a mother and aunt go through a horrible illness and she said there was no way she could sleep at night knowing that she was at at that high of a risk. She's holding off on her ovaries for a bit longer til she's done having children, but her doctor's have told her not to wait too long for that either. Also, your genetic counselor can also explain some of the insurance stuff to you. I believe that you can't be discriminated against for health insurance (new GINA law-genetic information nondiscrimination act ) but I think it can still affect life insurance.[/quote]
