in Long-Term Effects of Treatment #1
Help - I was just told I have BRCA2. In shock bc I have no family history. Just had a baby. Might want a second. Will be 39 this year. Would rather not have ovaries removed or mastectomy. Really scared - not sure what to do. Please help.

    Breast and ovarian cancers
    Sorry to hear you were told you might have this beast, but just to let you know there is hope. I would also like you to post this on the Breast and ovarian cancer sites here on CSN as you will get a lot more help in getting your questions answered.

    Wishing you well
