My mum was also diagnosed 8 yrs ago and she came through ok, so hoping I will as well. I also have an identical twin sister who is freaking out thinking she is next. Her mammograms are clear - so far so good.
We haven't been tested for the BRACA gene (i think that is what it is called) but I will ask the specialist when I see him /or her. Both my twin and myself have daughters so it is something to consider. I have also contacted the Australian twin registry and asked to be put in their breast cancer research project. We are already in their breast density one.
Anyway i will try to relax until Tuesday and hope my experience won't be too traumatic (unlike the 6 biopsy's i had)- that was very difficult. .
