Hi . I am male who had breast cancer 2 years ago. Obviously that rang alarm bells genetically and I was tested and found to have BRCA2. Whilst only me and my daughter have been diagnosed withthis, breast and pancreatic cancer run through my maternal line.
My daughter discovered breast cancer 2 weeks after her BRCA2 diagnosis- she has had double mastectomy and ovarian removal booked. I have eventually got my head around all this and decided to have the other breast removed- but that decision was over a year ago and the operation appears no nearer as our local area is not even able to cope with the actual cancer surgery let alone elective.
Has anyone else had the same delay issues and any suggestions how I can proceed? MacMillan nurses have tried to hurry the process, but naturally actual cancer operations take precedence and there is nothing they can do further.
