Ovary removal.

Hi all, today I got some news that has rocked me a little. Almost 2 years ago I lost my mum to ovarian cancer, a year later my sister was diagnosed with metastatic stage 4 breast cancer and about 3 months ago I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive with node involvement. I had genetic testing and today I got my results. I have the gene mutation brip 1. Apparently this is very new as far as testing is concerned. They have however found an increase in my risk of ovarian cancer. I am both needing to vent as well as seeking advice/experience that others may have had xx
also if any one has had ovary and Fallopian tube removal what was your experience xx
thanks for listening xx
