For all those who were following my story, I would just like to let you all know
im 10 days post surgery
I had a preventive double mastectomy with diep reconstruction
it was a 12 hr surgery and a long hard, sore and tiring week in hospital befre I was alowed to come home
im doing very well. I was sippose to be in hospital for 10 days but I was doing so well they let me home early
im so proud of what I have done for myself and for my family
I feel so proud and empowered
no regrets at all
and I feel somewhat a victory over cancer for all the damage it has caused my family and knowing I have now less then 2% chance of getting breast cancer.
Being 24 yrs old was both harder but more inspiring. The support and love ive received has been amazing.
this was all for myself, my 3 beautiful kids and my amazing husband
for my love ones that have suffered under cancer and the loved ones ive lost
especially for my dad who I lost from cancer 22nd jan 2014

Ah Emma, it can’t have been an easy decision for you, but how empowering the decision that you took was. I’ve lost family members and friends to cancer, and it’s a hideous and heart-breaking disease. Power to you my dear, and I hope & pray that all continues to go well for you.

Thankyou for sharing your story!!! I can only imagine what a tough decision it would have been especially being so young but you will be able to live now not having to worry about developing such a horrible disease
