Just curious if anyone out there is BRCA1 positive and has been diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer (Her2+,ER+,PR+)... and if so, how they are approaching treatment. 

The genetic counselor told me that my situation is unusual and I can see here that most BRCA carriers tend to be triple negative. It would be interesting to know if there are any other cases like mine. 

I have no family history of breast or ovarian cancer and was surprised to get this positive result. Doctors recommended I have the test done because I was diagnosed w bc at a young age, 32.
