I'd go for the test. I had a bilateral as mine a her2 and dense breast tissue meant it hid in a mammogram. My surgeon did suggest it and I had immediate reconstruction. I had a strong family history on Father and mother's . I've since had the genetic test done and don't carry the familial faulty gene from my father but don't regret my decision. Even though my mother's side can't idenetify a gene ...the genetics people still have concerns...2 sisters and a daughter seems sus. Just happy I'm not up for more surgery. It's a personal choice. I would have needed extensive surgery on the remaining breast anyway to help match them up...so don't see how this was a benefit...but that is me.
