Hello all,

I am new to this site and my reason for joining is to seek support for myself and to maybe offer support to others.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last July. Initially it was a grade 2 but after surgery it turned out to be a grade 3 aggressive tumour, with strong indications the cancer had entered my body via the lymphatic system itself as opposed to the nodes. That required chemotherapy. At that time I also tested positive to the BRCA2 gene.  Meaning a double mastectomy and removal of ovaries and Fallopian tubes. Treatment is almost complete now, but my mental recovery is only just beginning. Treatment was awful, with lots of side affects. A very rough year. 

Be good to hear from anyone who has similar experience to me or just to chat.

Jen
