First anniversary
I am new to this group... can't beleive it has taken me 12months to find this platform. Possibly wasn't really looking. I was diagnosed with Invasive Duct Carcinoma (no special type) Grade 3, Hormone + HER2 - on the 1st of Nov 2022. I have had a lumpectomy, chemo, radiation, currently taking anastozole 1mg & a hystorectomy. No breast cancer or any cancer (except my sister) on either side of my family. I chose to do a gene test to see if there was genetic link between my younger sister's sarcoma diagnosis 8 years ago & my BC. Curiosity killed the cat and I have the BRCA 2 gene mutation. Unfortunately so does my sister. They are suggesting a bilateral mastectomy. I am unsure whether I should go flat or have reconstruction. I would love to hear how people have made this decision and how their surgeries went. Thank you for reading.
