Triple Negative Journey
Hi, My Triple Negative Jounney starting in September 2011 50 years old, diagnosed with Breast Cancer Grade 3. I was sent off for BRAC testing as my sister and mother had both died of breast cancer. my Breast Cancer was a Triple Negative which I have learnt since can have a tie in with BRAC gene. I was diagnosed with the BRAC1 gene so opted for the Double Mascectomy & reconstruction. Also had Chemo for 3 months. It is now March 2013 and I have just had my Tattoo for my breast and they look amazing. Hopefully they won't kill me now. I think of them as my ticking time bombs. My brother who also got tested has come back as BRAC1. Hope this journey helps some other.
