Finished chemo

Hi Corrina I was in a similar position as you! My sister had BC - hormone receptor positive 3 years ago and I was diagnosed in April this year with TNBC. I had a lumpectomy, chemo and my breast surgeon suggested radiation if I don't carry the gene. My breast surgeon referred me to have the genetics test done. He suggested that if I did carry the gene I should have a double masectomy and ovaries removed, if not then go through chemo and radiation only. While I was doing my chemo treatment the genetics department rang me, asked me questions and then told me the process. They said for me to get it done I had to fill out the family history questionaire and I had to fit the criteria. When I received the questionaire I filled it out and sent it off. I didn't hear from them after a week so I rang them to find out what was going on and explained to them that I need to have the genetics test ASAP because I need to make the decision to have a double masectomy or keep my breast and have radiation and it all depended on the result of the genetics test. Because I fit the criteria and I explained to them that I urgently needed to make my decision as I only had 2 more chemo treatments to go, they gave me an appointment over the phone for the following week to see the genetics specialist. When I saw the specialist they took my blood test and rushed the results through and within 4 weeks I had my results and it was negative! After receiving the results I consulted with my breast surgeon and he recommended I have radiation after my chemo treatment. I have now finished all my treatment and trying to get my life back on track. If you don't get you results soon, give the genetics department a call to see what's going on with your test. Let them know that you're waiting on the results so you can make your decision. I hope you will get your results soon and it will be negative! Wishing you all the best! xxx
