I’ve just been diagnosed with my second lump in just over three years. About to have gene testing for Brca 1 and 2 and although it’s not a bridge I am crossing yet, am needing to think about the possiblity of having a double mastectomy - or at least to open my head up to what it might mean and get ready in case I need to make a decision in the next month or so. I wondered if there is any one out there I can talk to about recovery and life after a double masechtomy. I love running and I’m a fit and active 52 year old who wants to stay that way for as long as I can. I’d be so grateful to hear of others experiences around this. Or even better anyone who might have been diagnosed with the Brca or other mutation but who is keeping the cancer at bay without having had a mastectomy.
Many thanks
Jan
