Hi Dee, 

You don't sound horrible at all. I have just been diagnosed with BC at the age of 30 and I feel incredibly angry. I have a 6 month old baby and I feel overwhelmed with fear and rage in equal measures. Being told your fertility can be affected when you haven't been able to start or complete your family is truly gutting. 

If I am offered the chance to harvest my eggs (and I so hope that I am), then I think I will be taking that chance. I want to make my own decisions and not have them made for me. I have already been forced to stop breastfeeding my darling son, which is already one choice made for me by cancer which is one choice too many. 

I am also very healthy, young, vegetarian, don't smoke and barely drink, no family history - our odds of this happening were tiny. But it happened anyway. 

Where are you up to with your tests and diagnosis? I am waiting for an MRI next week to determine if there has been any spread to my other breast or lymph nodes. All signs looks positive at the moment, but I am nonetheless very scared that there has been spread which will make this harder to treat. I just want the lump out - can't wait for the surgery frankly. 

Keep well, 

Rosie

How are you getting on Rosie? How is your little one doing? I've just been told I have BRAC2 so will need a double mastectomy and then my ovaries out etc in a few years once i've had the chance to have children. Hope you're okay x
