Hi Sandy;
To answer your question. The genetics counselor I saw told me that one of the BRCAs (1 or 2 -- i can't remember) is most often hormone +, and the other BRCA mutation is often triple neg. And she said that her2+ is rarely also BRCA +. I don't know where she got her info, but she was a certified genetics expert at a large University hospital.
I was also tested because of my Ashkenaze heritage, as well as family history -- but was negative. They also told me that just because one tests negative does not mean that one might not have some other, as yet undiscovered, genetic mutation.
it's an important but stressful test to take and the results take weeks.
Take care all.
Linda
