Hi Nathalie
it's a lot to contend with, all these decisions. I just thought that I would direct you to some other areas of the website. There is a great Reconstruction Group on BCNA that has a lot of women who have gone through the same decision making process as you.
Also the "pink hope" website and facebook group has women of all ages that are high risk for BC and Ovarian Cancer and these questions are posed regularly. I think they would be a great help to you to see how others are processing these decisions.
I have just had preventative double mastectomies before Christmas as I found a BC in August, had that removed and then found out that I had the BRCA2 gene. It was an easy decision for me. I will be having my ovaries out in next few month (not so easy for me as I don't want to menopause yet!).
Best of luck with your decisions. S
