Hello and welcome to our group. Like you I have known I had the BRCA1 gene before my TNC diagnose and in Feb 2011, I had a oopherectomy being 46 and tired of being peri-menopousal. The gene people asked me what I wanted to do with my breasts and I told them I would watch and see. On Nov 2012 my mammagram came back suspicous and an ultrasound plus biopsy showed BC. I opted for a bi-lateral mastectomy with re-construction with expanders at surgery. TNC - Stage 1 - Grade 3 - no lymph node involvement. I had 6 rounds of Chemo and have had my implants in for 6 months now but am having trouble with the right one - the one that had cancer. Like everyone else has said ,it"s daunting but do-able and there are many helpful lovely ladies here. All the best and hope to keep up with your progress. Love Leanne xx
