Hi to everyone - I am amazed at some posts. Do we really have an increased risk of another cancer ? I was diagnosed 19th Nov 2012 and knew I was BRCA 1 .Stage 1 Grade 3 Bi lateral massectomy and re construction with tissue expanders on 28th Nov which hopefully get replaced with implants soon. My cancer was 18mm with no nodes and clear margins. I finished my chemo in May which was no picnic as I'm sure those of you who have been there know but to the new folk who are about to start it is doable. Just be kind to yourselves. No radiation due to double breast removal and hair has grown back really curly. If you read this smead I live 6 hours from Adelaide,so maybe when I have my implants at RAH , we can meet ? Hang in there all and huge hugs all round. Leanne Xxx
