The genetics counsellor called me on Friday to let me know that I do not have the BRCA gene! This was the last piece of the puzzle for me in terms of diagnosis, as if I had the gene, there is a possibility they would have asked me to have a mastectomy. And while that wouldn't be the end of the world, I am relieved that the surgery will be a lumpectomy only and hopefully there will only be a clip left!
I hadn't expected to find out the results til September sometime, but it is great having this weight lifted off my shoulders and I can fully enjoy our week at the cottage.
It is also nice to have some good karma come my way, and I am ready to keep kicking cancers ass. :)
