Hi Ne, I have just read your messages and would like to make some comments. I was diagnosed with Invasive Breast Cancer 7 Months after I lost my Mother to Breast Cancer. I had conservative surgery and a wide excision, then 6 Months of Chemo and 6 weeks radiation followed by Tamoxifin and the Arimidex. Then I found out that I have the braca2 gene and had my ovaries removed. Later I had a full hysterectomy and last year, I had a bi-lateral masectomy. I also found out that I have inherited Lynch Syndrome ( another gene mutation) and now I have to have yearly Colonoscopies. But I am a survivor and I am happy to say that it is nearly 16 years since my cancer diagnosis. I am grateful for every day and I am so glad that the treatments are always improving. I know what you are going through at present, but there is light at the end of the tunnel even though it doen't seem that way at the time. All the best in your journey. xxx
