Morning Fruit Loops
I ve just had a call to give me my BRCA test results. They are negative! I am so, so relieved. It's been hanging over my head like the sword of Damocles. I've been rehearsing in my head how I was going to break the news to the boys if it was positive, and also thinking about how both my grandchildren could have inherited the gene. So now I can forget about me having a dodgy gene, me passing it on, me having to contact my siblings to tell them there is a possibility they too could have a dodgy gene!
I'm one relieved lady!
That’s great news Dicha ! I’ve just had the blood test last Friday, has taken months just to get the initial appointment (I requested it last summer at my annual review) and apparently results take around 12 weeks!! Very pleased for you, such a massive relief. Lovely to hear good news!! Love and hugs, HFxx
HappyFeet1 I'll have my fingers crossed for you! I had the blood test done on Dec 22 and got the result today, so pretty quick really. I had to wait about four months from the initial request for the test to having it done in December.
Orange1 fingers crossed for your BRCA result. I hope you get a treatment plan sorted soon. It's a fab bunch of people on here, any doubts or questions, someone will be able to steer you in the right direction . Stay strong...and one day at a time .big hugs
