Hi! How frustrating to find this out when you had just finished and thinking about returning to work (I'm a teacher also). I'm a few months behind you, only half way through my chemo but found out near the beginning of treatment that I have the BRCA 1 gene. A massive shock as no history of breast cancer in my family. I have had chemo before surgery so am planning a double mastectomy with reconstruction once finished. Let me know if you need any advice xx
