I finally got some good news from a test! I do not have any mutated BRCA genes, which means my risk of future cancers, while still higher than someone who has never had cancer, isn't super high. This is also good news for my mother, sisters, and niece, who don't have much higher risk than anyone else. It also means that I don't have any increased risk for ovarian cancer, which is linked to the BRCA genes, so having those genes would put a person at high risk for both breast and ovarian cancer.
Now if I could just shake this headache from all the driving I've done this week!
Great news Donna. I was so glad you came to the meeting this week. You looked so... healthy! And, you looked like everyone else with a hat on (it was freezing there!!)Oh, and welcome to the hot flash crowd. Sometimes they're handy (in winter); not so in summer. Hope you continue to get good news.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you got good news on the BRCA!! I hadn't checked in to the blog for a while so caught I up on the last few entries. So glad to hear that you are feeling more like normal. Keep taking good care, Donna. Hugs and healthy thoughts from me, puppy kisses from Tilly! =)
ReplyDeleteThis is SUCH good news.
