Latrinka, I understand where you're coming from. Based on personal experience I believe when it's our time to go, it's our time to go! I was in a very serious car accident in 1987. If it weren't for God and seatbelts I would not be here. I look at this BRCA preventative surgery like wearing seatbelts.
Between 54% and 80% of women with the BRCA gene develop breast cancer. Seatbelts reduce traffic fatalities by 50%.
A seatbelt saved my life just like preventative mastectomies save many women's lives!
