Hello all

Hello everyone i am new to the forum and newly diagnosed with breast cancer and am looking at people i can talk to that are going through the same thing as I am. I have lots of decisions to make as to what will be best for me. I have been told that I will have the operation to take out the breast cancer and have some lymph nodes taken out to see if they have cancer in them on the 15th of March and going to the doctor tomorrow to talk about double mastectomy as i have the BRCA1 Gene. I have been tested every 6 months since finding out i have the BRCA1 Gene and kept telling the doctor i would only think of mastectomy if i ever devoloped cancer in my breast. So i have some big decisions to make.
