I got an email from Rachelle the geneticist this morning, letting me know the genetic testing was in. She said she had “reassuring news to discuss!” I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but figured at the very least this meant I don’t have the BRCA mutation.
We just had a video call (thankfully she had availability before the weekend!) and I got the best news possible: Everything came back negative! I don’t have any of the possible genes they know of, which means my risk for other cancers is basically the same as the general population.
This also means I didn’t pass anything on to the kids. Samara should start screening at 39 because I was diagnosed at 49 (10 years before first family cancer or 40, whichever is earlier) just to be safe.
I needed this good news!
