BRCA1 Positive B/C

2021-08-02 10:34:41
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with BRCA1+ ve ER+ve(40%) PR-ve and Her2-ve, grade 3 breast cancer. I did lumpectomy with 4+12Chemo, tumor size was 2*1.5*0.8 which shrunk to half in first four chemos and it showed complete pathological response. What are the chances of recurrence of the cancer. I feel very scared as I am BRCA+ve. Is there any hope? I am 33 years old.
