I was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer in July. Both my mum and sister have had breast cancer, although not triple negative. I had a bi lateral mastectomy. Have just started chemo FEC and underwent gene testing two weeks ago. Results came back today and I am BRCCA 2 positive. Genetisist has recommended I also have my ovaries removed in the next couple of years. I am only 38. The results for me where good in a way, reconfirmed my bilateral mastectomy and i now know i need to have my ovaries out.
