Narrative:

Some time after [push back]; flight attendant #2 and I detected strong smell of aircraft fumes in the aft galley area. The smell was strong where we both were bothered physically by the smell. For instance; a strong burning sensation in my nostrils and throat. We both covered our nose and mouth; but of course had to remove our hand from either place in order to breath. The burning sensation where I've indicated continued for a while. Unfortunately; on the very next flight we were exposed once again to strong smell of aircraft fumes in the aft galley and cabin area. I'm sure making the exposure and symptoms worst.I have worked [many] years as a flight attendant. More often now we're being exposed to aircraft fumes in the cabin that my union is collecting data as too many flight attendants are being exposed to aircraft fumes repeatedly; and flight attendants are reporting in record number.
