Oh wow what a time you have had and thankyou so much for the reply to me. Yes it does open up a huge can of worms doesn't it. And I am aware of all the issues that is why the decsion to test is a difficult one. I read a book by an , cant remember what it was called "Pretty something" by a lady who was also young and was tested for the gene after her mum died. Hers was positive and it talked about her feelings, it was very thought provoking. My daughter is 26 and understandably is scared now I have had bc especially after my mum and her cousins. But she has said she doesnt want to know. so If I test and its positive I cant tell her, but I feel if I dont I am perhaps burying my head in the sand, after all I want to live a long time yet.... It is good to hear you are glad you had the test and dont regret finding out, that is big help to me.
I feel for you so many decisions at your age is a huge thing and it is good that we have the choice on things but it is still very difficult.
Take care and stay in touch
