While waiting for a delayed surgery, Nikki was diagnosed with the breast cancer she had tried to prevent

Summary by Ground News
Nikki Neofitou is a carrier of the breast cancer 1 (BRCA1) gene mutation. She is one of 1,500 Australians diagnosed with hereditary breast cancer in the past 12 months. Wait times for prophylactic mastectomies vary between the states and there is no consistent approach to how the surgery is categorised. Pink Hope is pushing for a national data base for genetic testing in breast cancer.
