a fighters story

Back in 2008,i found a lump in my right breast!i had a 11 month old baby so i put it down to that!a week later i saw my gp,and was referred to the breast clinic,they performed numerous test,after a short wait my suspicions were confirmed i had stage 3 triple negative breast cancer!my world fell apart!
within a month i had a mastectomy,reconstruction and 12 lymph nodes removed!the good news was the cancer had'nt spread and was contained within the breast!!after a couple of months i started a 6 cycle of chemo!
6 years later i have had another baby who is now 2!am in 5 year remission!
i am having genetic testing for the bracca 2 gene!the reason for testing as i was 31!if i am carrying gene i will cross that bridge when it comes!am so happy to be here and see my beautiful girls and be a fantastic wife.
