Re: New to this.. Just dx dcis/idc Scared
Angelisa,
My story is very similar to yours. I am also BRCA2 positive, and had immediate reconstruction at the time of my mastectomy. In the past I had a history of radiation.
I also am a believer in signs that helped me considerably during those days when I was searching for info to ensure I was on the right track for making the best decisions possible.
If I can help you in any way I will be more then happy to do so.
My surgeries, chemo, and all are now close to 4 yrs behind me and I am doing absolutely great.
Oh yes, and I also had an oophorectomy to remove my ovaries and tubes.
Maryanne
