Male breast cancer with BRCA2 gene

Hi

Just had a male breast mastectomy end of March now not long started chemotherapy! They say I have no signs of secondary cancer and all this is preventative and curable , yet the list of treatments seems to be endless and quite depressing as I can not work as the medication prohibits my aviation medical being issued.Anyone been through similar?

kind regards

Karl
