Although it's an individual's comfort level and decision, pause, think and research before you jump on the Angelina Jolie bandwagon. And before you totally trust and rely on genetic counseling. I have no genetic markers.
Undergoing that type of surgery is a life changing event-cancer or no cancer. If you ever have a child there is no breast feeding. There is an emotional side of the surgery that will hit you in a ways that you never thought possible. Thoughts need to be turned toward implants-when will those have to be replaced? They don't last forever. And then there are the scars. Horrible, horrible scars you can never imagine till they are your very own. Unless, of course, you can afford the plastic surgeons that Jolie most likely had.
