Hi Debbie, wishing you good luck with your up coming surgery. I am now 16 months since diagnosis, and finished my recon in January. I'm at peace now having had the second mastectomy. I know this won't have any bearing on whether or not I get secondaries, but at least it means I won't get another breast cancer. I just have to hope that my chemo, and now the femara will keep that risk of a secondary, low. I'm sure you will feel the same sense of relief that I experienced. Hope all goes well next week. Please keep us up to date with your progress. Love Chris xx
