After my nephew had kidney cancer at the age of 5, my father passing from stomach cancer and my sister passing from liver cancer, it never dawned on me that I would have breast cancer and brc2. So in order to try to prevent it from coming back, I had a double mastectomy and hysterectomy in 2014. My husband is my number one supporter and has been thru it all. I’ve had no reconstruction surgery and have no regrets. I thank God that I’m still here and pray for a cure. I had no radiation, only chemo, which was hard enough. I have an excellent support group, however, it breaks my heart that I’ve gone thru it all without my mom, she’s alive, but it took a toll on her losing my sister, so I didn’t want to stress her more. Dear God, we need a cure.
