...sister-in-law had it. At that time there was no real great treatment for the BRCA type and I was crying for joy when she came back HER positive. She had breast conservation surgery, chemo and radiation and is now an 8 year survivor. Her surgeon, who was one of the pioneers of lumpectomies back when it was controversial, at one time headed the national organization of breast surgeons.

A surprising thing I learned in the video is that BRCA is now treatable as are the others. That was great news.

She was treated at Sloan Kettering, which if you're in the area i can't recommend enough. Of course there are many great institutions.

Good luck. May your outcome be as well as hers was.
