Hi ladies, As I get back to “normal” life after BC last year, I realise just like other ladies on here, I want to do everything possible to stay alive as long as I can. Sure I am still at risk of h...

Thank you ladies for the good advice. I’ll look into talking to a new gyno as the one I had before cancer wasn’t that good.
I did see the genetic doctors before I began treatment early last year. I was lucky that the gene test didn’t cost me anything and I got my results back within two weeks. But I haven’t been back to see them as it’s just another appointment and I’m over so many appointments. But I have the news that I dreaded that I tested positive. So I know that I’m at risk to ovarian cancer but I don’t think what percentage I am at risk would really help me change my mind.
I’ve never really liked children to be honest. I only like my friends kids but in small doses haha.
I could also freeze some eggs but I haven’t got my periods yet since chemo and I’ve been told they can or won’t come back for up to a year post chemo. I finished chemo in September last year.
Anyways I’ve got my next 3 Month check up with my oncologist in April so I’ll definitely be asking her more in depth questions and get a referral to a gyno.
Oh and yes I do have a breast care nurse so I’ll ask her before my appointment.
Thanks again ladies for your support and advice : )
