OT: Genetic Testing Results Are In

And... drum roll please... my sister tested negative for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene. So, no prophyllactic removal of her ovaries and no BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic testing for me (or so I assume - will confirm with breast surgeon after my annual mammogram late next month). YEA! Kathy

There's some good news today!!!! Congrats Laurie

Always good to have some good news, that's for sure!

Thats WONDERFUL news... and a great relief Im sure.... Waiting is horrible!! Hugs Karen

Thanks, Karen! The waiting wasn't too bad. Expected it to take a month and it took half that. Not too bad. I base my stress level on statistics when they are available... LOL. My sister only had an 8% chance of being positive according to the genetic counselor so that wasn't that high so it was easy to not expect this, ya know? Funny, as in ironic funny not haha funny... when my sister went for her biopsy, I just knew it was cancer. But with this, I just knew this was going to be negative. Wish I could translate this intuition or feeling...into say some lotto numbers or something truly useful. ROFL. Take care, K

Wonderful news, Kathy!

Great news Kathy! I'm so happy for you and your sister! Heather
