My journey starting at age 26 of being diagnosed with a BENIGN LUMP in EACH BREAST to being determined as BRCA1+, to being properly diagnosed with BREAST CANCER, to undergoing FERTILITY TREATMENT for EGG PRESERVATION before cancer treatment, to complications of IVF treatment resulting in a severe case of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), to MENOPAUSE, to DOUBLE MASTECTOMY, to CHEMOTHERAPY, to RADIATION, to 5 years of TAMOXIFEN, to new angst about DATING and CAREER OPTIONS, to future BREAST RECONSTRUCTION, and who knows what else. And now I am 30 years old.
