Hey,
This is the first time i’ve done something like this so not sure where to start! in 2018 I found out I had the mutated BRCA 2 gene after both my aunts had triple negative breast cancer & my nan sadly passed away of ovarian cancer. I’ve found it all quite overwhelming over the last few years, with my mum & cousin having preventative surgery. I love my boobs and at that stage i just wasn’t ready to give them up so having been having a the yearly check ups.
More recently though I have been thinking more and more about the gene and my situation and although at 31 i am still young I want to start looking into my options in more depth. I just don’t even know where to start though? I read these forums with people in my situations talking to doctors and surgeons but where does it all start?
If anyone has advice on how I can start conversations and with who I would be forever grateful as currently feeling very overwhelmed and a bit lost

as you say your mum and cousin have both already had preventative surgery, it is a very personal decision to you if you choose to have preventative surgery and if you ring the number on here you can discuss everything and more with a nurse who will talk you through anything you want to ask and help you with support. Others will pop on and support here too just ask away But please do use the number to speak to a nurse or the ask the nurse facility on the threads. You are amazing for not burying your head in the sand by the way and seriously thinking about everything and reaching out Please keep us posted, everyone is always here
