Genetic Variant

Hi Tintin,  gee it  would be so hard to decide what to do when you have completed  everything the medical world  has to offer, and  yet there is still more in your mind that can be done to protect you. You have been through so much treatment  and now only you can decide if you feel the need to go further and have your other breast removed and ovaries out.  To top it all off you still are no wiser as to the generic testing. It must be driving you crazy you poor darl.   I really don't know what i would do in your case but just try and remember that the medical world has advanced so much in the past 10 years since you lost your sister things would be a lot different now. Maybe if you feel you will never have peace of mind  and would always be  looking over your shoulder (so to speak) while you still had your breast and your ovaries the maybe it would be the right choice to have them removed. It is such a big decision and such a difficult one to have to make. Have you thought of having some counseling  before you make that next decision, as that may help you see more clearly.  Maybe with a medical professional from the Breast Cancer world who would be able to find out more answers for you.  I hope you find the right answers, good luck and take care, Cheers Jo xx
