I tested positive for the BRCA2 cancer gene over one year ago, I was all prepared to have the mastectomy, I even met with the surgeon and plastic surgeon, only to be told that my insurance does not cover preventative treatment. I am 39 years old, my daughters are 3 & 7, and it scares me to no end that I have to hope they catch "it" (cancer) early. It amazes me that the insurance companies can get away with this. Paying for it myself is not an option.
