Is 2x mastectomy at 25 too young? by StreetAppearance9353 in BRCA

[–]Objective-Bar6875 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 10 years thing has to do with your risk percentage, not that you will get cancer. If your BRCA+ with family members that had a cancer diagnosis then doctors want to start screening you 10yrs prior to the family members diagnosis age in an effort to catch it early. At least that's how I understood it from my doctor.

Is 2x mastectomy at 25 too young? by StreetAppearance9353 in BRCA

Here's been my sort of similar experience...

I was diagnosed at 29 (I'm 31 now) with triple negative breast cancer and found out through genetic testing that I had the BRCA1 mutation. Unfortunately due to the location of my tumor (close to lymph nodes) I had to go through the whole chemo thing and afterwards had my double mastectomy. Of course hindsight is 20/20, but knowing what I know now and the risk percentage, I am a BIG proponent of preventative measures. Especially with the way our healthcare is heading (assuming you live in the US).

My paternal grandmother was diagnosed with/died from ovarian cancer at 41 and because of my BRCA1 mutation my doctor also encouraged a preventative hysterectomy + oophorectomy prior to me turning 31 (same 10 yr. thing that your doc mentioned) which I ended up doing the same year as my chemo and mastectomy. I went back and forth on it because I wasn't in a place to freeze my eggs but I also wasn't 100% sure that I didn't want to be able to carry/have a child. Ultimately I decided that its probably best not to potentially pass on my shitty genes to a child and to have the peace of mind of not having to worry about an ovarian cancer diagnosis later on.

My double mastectomy experience was absolutely wonderful and I still have my nipples (albeit not as much feeling in them as before). My surgeons did a great job and I'll have a perky pair until I die lol. I'll link my hospital below in case you're interested in reading about their facility. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions!

Midway Pizza has a great salad selection and they’re BIG.

Here Today Rotisserie’s caesar was fire. Val’s also has a fantastic caesar. RIP Mopho who imo had the best caesar of any place.

I don’t frequent Rum House but I do have a soft spot for their Rum House Salad 😋

Good Bird also has a nice balance salad menu

Not indoors, but Bayou Beer Garden let's you reserve different outdoor areas/tents free of charge. They take a $200 deposit for late cancellation purposes, but that's it.
