268 | Paige, Two Vaginal Births, Induction, BRCA1, Breast Cancer, Mastectomy, Donor Breast Milk

from Australian Birth Stories · host Sophie Walker

In today’s episode and in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I talk to Paige who was diagnosed with breast cancer when her first baby was nine months old. Paige has the BRCA1 gene and following six months of chemotherapy she chose to have a double mastectomy without reconstruction. Upon completing three rounds of radiation, Paige’s pathology results confirmed that she had a complete recovery. It was the best news, made even sweeter by a positive pregnancy test shortly afterwards.
