Hi Renata,
Yes I was rather relieved to find out that I didn't have BRCA 1 or 2 but our family is still in the high risk category anyway having had my mum and her sister and now myself with bc. I'm surprised that they are going to do your radiotherapy 1st before your bi-lateral mastectomy unless your not having a reconstruction done....the procedure here and I will have this confirmed next week when I have my next round of chemo and I might say my 2nd last round YAY :-) & see my oncologist. The Professor told me at the familial clinic last thursday that my 6 rounds of radiation would be cut down to about 2 and it would be after my mastectomy so they can hit the wall of the chest of the breast where the tumour was just in case and then they start the reconstruction, which thank God is all covered by medicare :-) I decided i'd keep my ovaries until I've gone through menapause naturally because they told me that the removal of the ovaries sends you into an operative state of menapause which they told me is dreadful so I soon back pedaled out of that idea %-s Anyway my dear, I hope you are travelling well post chemo and starting to feel a little more free and hopeful for better things to come,
Brightest Blessings, Susan
