Well brave lady, sending you a big caring hug ... hold on in there ... Chrissie xx

Hey girl121 - that's a real bummer bit you know you can do this. You'll feel *** - that is pretty natural. I cannot even imagine what you must be going through emotionally. But you got this!

As said in Chris's post - you've done this before and it is treatable - that's the great part. What you have to get through is by no means easy but you can do this. Focus on the outcome.

I also lost my mom to breast cancer and my sister was diagnosed 7 yrs ago. I was diagnosed last year at this time. It sucks and life throws us curveballs but we just gotta get through it. 

Keep us posted and vent if you need to because I'm always listening.x

Hello ladies.  I am ignorant about breast cancer (yes I know, ain't I lucky) but there do seem to be cases of breast cancer running in families.  Is this the genetic mutation that we have heard about in the press that has resulted in some (mainly rich celebities) having breasts removed.  Or am I totally off the mark?  I realise it is all very fine for me to ask when it is not my problem but I would be grateful for any comments.  And I do so want you all to beat this for good.

Thanks for replying; I was just wondering.  I remembered for example Angelina Jolie having a double mastectomy because a faulty gene appeared to run in her family.  I realise that what the rich and famous can do is not always open to the rest of us but it was an interesting subject and I will indeed look it up.

I'm in a family history programme at the hospital 

they are going to re check our history as my mum died of it at 42. 

Ask to be referred 

I have two daughters who I don't want to go through this in the future 

good luck 

my op is next Friday x

I’m also in the family history programme but we tested negative for the BRCA1&2 and were told no known genetic link. Ours is apparently a huge coincidence  

But I agree always best to speak to a professional x

Thanks ladies for your comments x yep back on the rollercoaster

Good luck today and let us know how your appt goes. Thinking of you.

Good news. CT results show it’s isolated. Op for mastectomy on 27th Dec x

Yeah!!!!!! That's great news and I'm so glad! You got this!

Op wont be easy but it's a step closer to getting rid of the bas**** Cancer!!! Youll get through this and we are here every step of the way.

Go do something you're up to to celebrate. All victories whether big or small have to be celebrated.

Here any day and every day. YOU GOT THIS!!
