Hi @AquaMarina
I'm in a similar boat to you, but BRCA2, and diagnosed at age 32 (Dec 2022).
I've found the https://www.reclaimyourcurves.org.au/ website very helpful, as well as https://www.bcna.org.au/tools-breconda/
The EVIQ website https://www.eviq.org.au/cancer-genetics/adult/risk-management/3814-brca1-or-brca2-risk-management-female has also been helpful with considering the BRCA part. Pink Hope is another charity group which you may found helpful. https://www.pinkhope.org.au/
For me, at this stage, I've decided to go for DMX and DIEP recon. Unfortunately the public waitlist is long for me (as I am currently cancer free). I've also decided to do nipple sacrificing, because even if you do keep your nipples they have no sensation. I will at some point have nipples tatooed on.
All the very best to you. Happy to answer any further questions you have.
