TNBC, BRCA, DIEP - WTF?!
From shock diagnosis to choosing a reconstruction surgeon.
Bec didn’t think for one minute that the lump in her breast was cancer. After the shock of being diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, she was stunned when genetic testing revealed a mutation (as she has no family history of breast cancer).
