Morning everyone!
I'm new here.


I'm 37 years old, I was diagnosed in April 2025 with Invasive Ductual Carcinoma Grade 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer and I have BRCA1 mutation.
I started weekly Carboplatin/Paclitaxel chemo in May, finished end of August then went straight onto EC chemo every 3 weeks. I'm finding the EC absolutely dreadful but I've just 3 more rounds to go!
Then due to my BRCA1 gene, I'm undergoing a double mastectomy and reconstruction 4-6 weeks after chemo ends in October. Which will be around the One year mark of my mum's passing Broken heart she passed 5 months before my diagnosis so it's been a terribly hard journey. 
But I'm hopeful. Hope is a big thing with Cancer.
If anyone has similar to me, or any advice on how you took a double mastectomy I would be so grateful to hear. I am nervous but it has to be done White check mark 
Sending all well wishes to all Sparkles
