Hi ladies,
I am a 31 year old who was diagnosed with a 12mm invasive ductal carcinoma back in Jan 12, I have undergone a masectomy to have my left breast removed and am taking Zolodex for 5 years. ...
Hello,
its great you have come on here and shared your story! As a young women its amazing how cancer can make you feel for many years after treatment and talking is the best way to get things out! Have you had reconstruction yet?
I was diganosed when i was 24 im 26 now. I had to have a right masectomy, chemotheropy, raidation and five years of tamfoxin.
This year i found out I have the BRCA gene so that has ment another masectomey and a full husterectomy.
I can understand how you feel if I did not loose my hair I would of keped it quiet like you did. Expecally being young its hard as not many people can relate in your real life.
Its amazing you got that test done and did not have to go through chemo. Breast cancer is still a long and hard and sometimes it feels like the journey will never end.
Anyway always here if you need to talk as its the best way to overcome all those emotions!
take care
sophie
