ETA - if you are considering BRCA gene testing, please make sure you have though about income protection or life insurance before you do, if you wait until later (once you know you have the gene) you may never have access to such insurance again.
Definitely do that!

My friend has just undergone this surgery, She is 25. she had the gene testing done beofre her life insuance and now they wont cover her She had both breasts removed but unfortunately she had an infection so had to be reoperated on and the spaces taken out so she has to wait 5 mths...but like she says she would rather that then having cancer!

Good luck hun Hope you dont carry the gene x
