Anyone else have CHEK2 gene mutation? And have had multiple cancers?

It feels like you with other folks like @colorado73 have a support group started right here. 💕
I have a few gene mutation coming from both sides of my family. Including cowden syndrome.
I have breast cancer starting in my 30’s, and skin cancer some years back. I always scheduled all my screenings right on time until I just got exhausted from it all last year. Still scheduling but maybe on my own terms.
Are you comfortable inviting the people with multiple cancers to connect?

Yes!!!
I'd LOVE to start a support group!
I could sure use some encouragement through this journey.
I just had breast reconstructive surgery AGAIN. Smaller implants due to the incompetent Surgeon I had to begin with. He OVERFILLED my 1st implants on purpose for HIS idea of what I should look like!
But thank God I found a new Dr that listened to me & has compassion & love for his patients! I'm so blessed! I've struggled with pain for 3 years due to the other implants. Nerve damage & pain. And I'm still in physical therapy, 3 years now. The woman I see is FANTASTIC & has to s of compassion for her patients too & has worked with me since day one! And continues to work with me.
Like having breast cancer isn't stressful enough, I had a surgeon that didn't care about what I wanted or how I felt. So suffering through that for 3 years was extremely hard! So stressful.
But I'm grateful for my new care team & I Thank God every day.
But yes, I'd love to hear from other out there that are struggling too with this gene mutation. Dr's are watching a cyst on my ovaries, a spot on my lung & my colon. Ugh ..
