Hello, I am due to start radiotherapy on Tuesday for 3 weeks after having bilateral diep breast reconstruction surgery in Nov '22.
Ive had radiotherapy in the past in 2001 after a breast lumpectomy so I'm not too concerned about it really it's about the margins ie that the cancer was near my skin so radiotherapy was suggested.
I carry the BRACA2 gene which is why I got diagnosed a second time in my other breast.
I feel well, as I have done since my operation. I just don't like to see my 3 daughters upset for me.
It's twice now that they have had to go through this with me and as strong as I am and as well as I feel I know that they are going through probably just as much worry etc.
I know this is long winded for a first post but it needed to be out.
