There are a lot of comments on this thread made in jest, I realize, but the topic is serious. A women carrying a BRCA mutation can have a lifetime risk of developing breast cancer approaching 85-90%.

Faced with those odds, virtually removing the risk by having prophylactic mastectomies isn't really such a ridiculous choice, is it?

Faced with those odds (85-90% of getting breast cancer), virtually removing the risk by having prophylactic mastectomies isn't really such a ridiculous choice, is it?

And if you develop a cancer elsewhere in your body, what good have you done for yourself? Do you also avoid driving because you might be in a car accident?
