things to consider.
if you have it, then what? what kind of life is it knowing you have the gene for breast cancer?
what about insurance? can you be excluded later on, given the companies will know this information? it could be likely they will avoid insuring you.
preventative life. it sounds like you're doing all you can now to live the best life you can. that's all you can do. in your heart of hearts it sounds like you don't want to be tested--don't let your mother talk you into something you don't want to do. remember, it's your life, make your own choices.
FWIW, i have thought about it for myself, but am deciding against it for the reasons mentioned...my vote is be true to your desires, this is all that matters.
