Hello and newly diagnosed

@sfr09 It is a tough road, absolutely, Ive had a recurrence twice in 4yrs and it was harder the second time, but you know what? I did it, I dont know how but I did, I got through and am going on 2yrs clear again and just had a mastectomy/reconstruction 2 weeks ago, my final piece to get rid of all of this now. I did genetic testing but only because I had to have a mastectomy due to recurrence and they wanted to be sure I didnt have the Gene. Only my Mum had BC no other history and I was negative. But there have been ladies on here with NO family history and tested positive. Id be guided by your Oncologist or Surgeon as my Surgeon organised mine. Hugs xo Melinda
