Brief Summary:
Genes are the blueprints for our bodies Some people are born with an abnormal copy mutation of a gene These people may have a higher chance of getting a disease Different mutations in different genes cause different diseases Some women get breast cancer because they are born with an abnormal copy of a gene called BRCA1 or BRCA2 These women also have a higher chance of getting ovary cancer Women with breast cancer and an abnormal copy of BRCA1 or BRCA2 also have a higher chance of getting a second breast cancer in their other breast Because of this women who might have a mutation may have genetic testing soon after their breast cancer diagnosis to learn about their risks of getting another cancer
Genetic testing may be done right after a woman has been diagnosed with breast cancer It may also be done later after surgery is done to treat the cancer The investigators do not know when it is best to do genetic testing The investigators are doing this study to try to understand whether women prefer testing before or after surgery The investigator also want to find out how they feel about their choice later on when their diagnosis in more in their past
