I am an identical twin who has a sister that has been diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. She has tested positive for BRCA II gene. I am going for a biopsy myself tomorrow to make sure there is no issue with a small bump found in my right breast. Is there any other identical twin out there with this situation?, and if so how is your twin doing?

    Sorry kma and I hope the test is clear.. and I am not an identical twin but I don't think I need to be to let you know that you should be tested for the BRCA 1/2 genes too..  and then have breast MRI in addition to all you are doing..  This is a time I am hoping that identical twins are not - so the best of luck and I hope it is a cyst and everything is OK.. Either way would you please touch base afterwards?  Thanks!
