BRCA 2 Mum in London UK
Had my genetic testing done as my beautiful Mum found out she was a carrier when she had her own test. She is currently diagnosed with stage 4 gastric cancer.
I am 28 with 2 young children ( both under 5) and had my positive result for BRCA 2 a few weeks ago. I am based near London, UK and have been referred for the yearly breast MRI but have also opted to speak to the surgeons about the preventative double mastectomy.
I wanted to see if anyone on this group is under the care of the Royal Surrey Hospital and could share their experience please. I would be so grateful.
Also another questions for those with young children, how did you find having the op as I have read it’s a long recovery. Some people have said to get the op when my children are a lot older but with what I am currently going through with my Mum I don’t want to put my children through the same thing.
Thanks for reading and any comments 🫶🏻
