Tested positive for BRCA2 gene mutation

[WhereAreWeNow]

Just that really. I got the result today and I'm a bit numb. I'm really scared about what it means for my health and my life expectancy. Scared my DD could also carry it.
I'm on HRT and I'm guessing I'll have to come off that.
Will I need to have a preventative mastectomy?
I'm wondering if anyone else who's been through this has any advice or just a hand hold.

It is a slow process @anonymous98 . It's easier said than done but try to put it in a box and not think about it until you get the results. There's nothing you can do until you know.
