Now that I have made it through a year of breast cancer- diagnosis, treatment and recovery, it is time to continue my efforts in cancer prevention. The risk of breast cancer coming back is the highest in the first 2-3 years. Not only do I have a check up every 3 months, but an MRI every 6 months. On top of that I am continually doing everything in my power to prevent cancer on my end. This entails a strict diet, continuing to exercise regularly and continuing high dose vitamin C 1x per month. If you have been following along, you may remember I also have a 23% chance of getting ovarian cancer with the BRCA1 gene mutation I have. So not only do I have a high risk of breast cancer coming back, but I am also on the lookout for ovarian cancer. After we are able to have children, I will have a full hysterectomy (which they recommend I have before age 35). For reference I just turned 30. That gives me less than 5 years to have children, kind of a time crunch huh? So now we begin the journey of having children… which you would think would be the easy part…
