Breast cancer and more

A year ago I received my diagnosis and before I knew it I was in hospital and had had a total right mastectomy. Twenty four years ago I had cervical cancer and had to have a hysterectomy at the age of 26. All through these challenges I have been suffering with an autoimmune disease called Myasthenia Gravis (MG) which causes fatigue throughout my whole body. Surgery is a challenge with this disease and the older I get the worse and more risk I have with surgery. My surgeon, whom is great, tries to play down your risk of reoccurrence but he can't say for certain it won't come back. So, I agonise about the 'what if'.... If it comes back and I am not well enough for surgery, what then. Having this fear to deal with on top if the fear of breast cancer coming back is sometimes too much to bear. So for me there is only one decision so on February 11 2014 I will be having my other breast removed in hope that it will decrease my risk in the future. My MG has controlled my life and the decisions one makes through life, having children,holidays, where you live, what you eat, other health decisions for 26 years. No one wants to loose a breast especially one that at the moment is clear but for me it isn't something I can ignore. I hope that others who are dealing with other health issues and breast cancer all the best.
