[quote=Anonymous]OP here. If one is BRCA negative, as in my case, it was an individual choice highly supported by my oncologist, breast surgeon, and plastic surgeon. Though I tested negative for the gene, clearly something is going on in my family, and the specter of cancer hanging over my head was too much to bear. I thought about it, did my research, and am forever grateful to the physicians and genetic counselors at GW and GUH (especially the Fisher Center at Georgetown for genetic testing). There is also an organization called FORCE that deals with familial cancers. Lots to think about, and important legislation to make sure things don't become a barrier to this procedure. [/quote]
