Genetic test

Hi Lara lou,

In the past my daughter had a DVT, and was tested for a family gene that predisposes you to them. My other daughter was then tested and she has the same gene, so that means either my husband or I ,or both are the carriers. They have to inject themselves before long flights and while pregnant.

Before my operation I told the consultant, and I had a blood test to see if I was the carrier. The day before the operation they admitted to loosing the results, so another test was rushed through. After my operation they had still no results, so the consultant treated me as if I had the gene, and I had to do injections for 6 weeks instead of 4!!! I still don't know who has the gene!!

I'd like to think if your results were important you would have known by now, but who knows!!   xxxxxx

Hi nanny anny thank you for replying, I just have no idea what is going on and feel frustrated that I keep chasing and still get no anserws xx

Hi Lara lou xx, its no wonder your frustrated about it all and concerned too, I hadn't realised its been so long since they took the sample for genetic testing. I am glad you chased it up and yes the secretary can't usually discuss results. Hopefully the consultant will get back soon and let you know either way, I got a letter and an appointment to discuss my results and they were clear which was a relief so hopefully its the same for you but I hate that they keep people waiting so much long but I suppose it depends on the lab etc.

Fingers crossed for you, sending you a gentle hug for answers soon

Thank you gbear, I just need to know one way or other, I’m glad you were clear, hope I get the same result , eventually x
