Hi Donna
Great to hear that you're feeling well. Hope your hair stays in place for the weekend!
I just received my results from the genetic testing this week and I have the defective BRCA1 gene. I was suprised and then immediately started to worry about the impact on the rest of my family. There's so much to consider but at least we all have the option of finding out and planning. If they decide to go ahead with testing, I will, of course, be hoping that they are negative.
As for myself, I am meeting with my breast surgeon next week to discuss my treatment plan which will now include a double mastectomy and removal of ovaries. I will agree to anything which will reduce my chances of getting cancer again.
Take care, Liz
