So Hello
I have recently undergone a radical mastectomy following diagnosis of a high grade angiosarcoma, caused by the radiotherapy I had 7 years ago for breast cancer. Allbern a bit of a shock as I am sure you can all relate to. Was getting on with our lives, cancer was behind us, all was good with the world.
I had the whole radiotherapy field removed, fairly new thinking operation, and a 'flap' reconstruction from my back, not to create a boob, just to make it flat. I'm 6 weeks post op now, surprised by how tired I am and how debilitating it has all been . Head is still all over the place. Anyone else had the same? I'm told it is 1 in a million, in fact I remember the radiotherapy nurse telling me that a really rare side effect was it could cause a cancer. Guess I just got lucky eh
