Shit Kylie, you've got a lot on your plate. How are you coping emotionally? Have you got good support?
Three out of four women across two generations of my family have had breast cancer. The fourth went to find out what her options were and we all ended up doing some genetic testing (spit in a test tube). There's a handful of known genetic mutations that predispose for breast cancer and it turns out we had one of them, one of the CHEK2 mutations. There are four kids in the next generation, all of whom have a 50% chance of having it, so it's good to know.
I hope you're travelling well today. Big hug, K xox
