Hello,
I'm new to this board and will figure out how to add my info later, but wanted to reply to this post first.

I am Her2+ and BRCA1 positive. I haven't ran across anyone else like me, but would love to know of others. I'm ER/PR+ as well. I was d/x in Feb. 07 with DCIS, had mastectomy, found microscopic amount of invasive cancer. Oncologist wanted me to get BRCA tested because of my young age (36 at d/x). Had 4 great aunts that had BC, but no other family history. Test came back with BRCA1. My 2 sisters were tested, and my younger sister has the BRCA1 mutation as well.
