Hello
I've just joined this forum.
im 32 and last year I lost my mum to cancer. She has been fighting for 7 years. Half way though her treatments she decided to have the testing for the Brca1 gene.. it came back positive. Anyway.. I had the genetic testing last year when she passed away as when I lost my mum it petrified me that the same was going to happen to me. It came back positive for me too so I am a Brca1 carrier . So dealing with the grief of loosing my mum and then being told I am Brca1 positive was not a nice thing. I had severe anxiety, constantly feeling my boobs for lumps and I still do that now and I make them so sore but it's hard to stop. Last year I had the ca125 blood test, a breast mri and also a scan on my ovaries etc and it all came back ok. But I still worry and it's always on my mind 24/7 . I was just wondering if there is any one else in the same situation? Or something similar. I found out I carried the gene in March 2020 at the age of 31 I'm now a year on at age 32, getting older, been stuck in lockdown doing my mind not good with overthinking constantly.
Thankyou for reading xx
