I'm going for testing in June. I was first diagnosed (at age 35) in 2003 and then again with a separate cancer in the other side in 2010. I also have a cousin on my Dad's side who was diagnosed before the age of 40 last year and my grandmother on my Mum's side died of BC.

She wants to know whether I carry the gene but I'm not sure what she will do with the info if she finds out that I do....
It is a very difficult decision to make but I think getting tested is the right one for me. What I do with the info remains to be seen....
