I was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002, I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. This was very hard as I was only 34 at the time. I was then diagnosed in 2016 and I had a single mastectomy no further treatment was needed.
I was offered reconstruction in 2018 which I had & it was great as I had struggled with my mastectomy.
my reconstructed breast was slightly smaller so the surgeon offer to make my breast symmetrical. This was delayed because of covid but I finally had it done in May this year.
I was asked to see the surgeon who done my operation in June and thought this was just a check up but they had found cancer in my breast that they took away.
I threw my self back into work and carried on as normal until I had the op in September. I had a mastectomy & reconstruction all at the same time. I’m recovering well physically but not quite sure mentally.
