Hello all

well i went to the doctor today to talk things over with him and he says if i have the cancer removed and the lymph nodes tested. I could still have a chance the cancer will come back either in the same breast or in the other one as the cancer i have in the breast he said is a fast growing cancer and with having the brca1 does not help it any. So i decided that the best thing might be to have a double mastectomy anyway to save my life and save me from getting more breast cancer. So I go in to have the double mastectomy on the 23rd of March and have expanders put in. And doctor said after the op i will have to start to have some chemo which i am not looking forward to as i am scared to lose my hair been growing it for a while and it is just starting to look nice, Breast care nurse said they put some cap on your head or something so you do not lose as much hair as people use to and that you would not really notice it. I hope she is right. I will be in hospital for 3 days and 2 nights if things go ok if i am still really sick after that they will keep me in longer.
