Breast Cancer Gene Test.

After been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38,having an uncle who had breast cancer, a strong family history of cancer I decided to have the breast cancer gene test. It takes 4 months for the results to come back and mine are due back in October. The results could be yes that I do have the gene, no that I don't have the gene or maybe. The doctor said if I do carry the breast cancer gene then it can cause ovarian cancer so they suggest having my ovaries removed. I told him if I do carry the gene then I want my ovaries and the other breast removed. After having breast cancer already I never want to go through that again. If it means having more of my body parts removed then so be it.
