"I am a survivor of Breast Cancer,
I am a Brother, a Father, a Sister, a Mother, a Daughter, a Son, a Friend.
I carry the scars on the inside, for those that carry the scars on the outside,
I will NEVER feel that helpless again, I am CHANGING things,
I am an unseen champion, I am an unsung hero,
I help drag the stories out of the darkness,
I help shine a strong and loving light on those in darkness,
I am guiding survivors toward the light of a better tomorrow,
I am a breastANGELS Supporting Contributor."

Mastectomy & Reconstruction, My Choice Before Breast Cancer.

How one woman broke the curse of cancer

What would you do if doctors discovered you had a potential 80% chance of getting breast cancer?

Sharon Tregoning decided to do something. She’d already lost her sister Bess to breast cancer, had developed three benign lumps herself, and was undergoing the nerve-wracking routine of annual mammograms and ultrasounds.

The catalyst for action arose with the startling revelation about her
family’s genetic history - five women in the last four generations of her
family had succumbed to breast cancer, and three before the age of 45.

With full knowledge of her predisposition, Sharon decided to take control of her destiny.

She committed to a radical fight-back plan - a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction using her own tummy tissue.

Her husband Reid described the move as a “pre-emptive strike”.

This is her candid story - complete with graphic photographs - of that agonising decision, and her year-long road to recovery, in rebuilding her body, and reclaiming hope for a cancer-free future.

What readers are saying ...

“... you are truly amazing to have confronted your decisions the way you have and documented it all in such a light, yet deeply informative read ...

... Don't tell me you aren't brave, and then after all this to go on to write this book to help others (and it will) is sheer compassion and courage ...

... I thought I’d just read a little of your book to go to sleep.
I could not put it down ...

... What came through to me was your want and need to help all the women
you can ...

... Your book was not a story about Breast (Cancer) Prevention to me,
it was purely motivational, THANKYOU! ...”

Author’s Biography

Sharon Tregoning was born in Melbourne in 1969 and began her career as a bank teller. Within a decade, she had powered up the corporate ladder to become a business services manager for Sensis, liasing with 15 business units in the lead up to the Y2K transition. It was through the company’s Year 2000 Program that she met her husband and soul mate, Reid Tregoning.

Together with Sharon’s daughter, they made a tree-change to Victoria’s Yarra Valley to run a boutique bed and breakfast - Forget Me Not Cottages - widely considered one of the state’s most romantic getaways. In 2008, the family migrated from bush to beach, settling in sunny Noosa, where Sharon & Reid have established an online personal development business.

Since writing about her double mastectomy and breast reconstruction,
Sharon has founded a charity inspired by her sister Bess, who who died of breast cancer at age 49.

breastANGELS provides funding for breast reconstruction to women who have experienced, or are at high risk of, breast cancer. Now as she approaches 40, Sharon says she’s finally found her life purpose: to empower women with breast cancer to recreate their bodies, and their lives.

All printed soft cover books are personally signed by Sharon.
