The secondary school teacher told the Express that she felt she had been given a lifeline:
"It was definitely the right decision for me. Before I never realised how much at risk I was, so having a double mastectomy meant I didn't have to worry about my breasts again"
She said throwing a party to acknowledge what was ahead was her way of coping:
"I felt better for having the celebrations, as for me I prefer to talk about problems and tell people. My party ending this all was such a lovely feeling, being able to celebrate with everyone who has supported separately at some point along my journey was incredible."Sally now runs her blog informing people all about BRCA and wants to work towards helping others to get tested for this gene.
