I was tested for BRCA 1&2 and came back with no mutations. Strong history on both sides of my family (with my father's side being Jewish which is strong for the BRCA 1&2). My mom and 3 of her sisters have bc (but just hormone driven not Her 2) and my dad's mom and aunt had ovarian cancer.

However, most BRCA 1 breast cancers are hormone negative (but not necessarily Her 2 driven).

Warm regards
