We met with the geneticist on Friday afternoon. My BRCA 1&2 results came back negative. That's great for at least 2 huge reasons. Although the women in my family should still be safe & aware, at least we are not "cursed" with a predisposition for breast cancer. The second breath of relief is that had I tested positive for the gene mutation, a bilateral mastectomy would have been recommended for safety's sake but fortunately that is no longer a possibility that I have to face.

I will start hounding my oncologist tomorrow morning and every day there after until I find out the results of the Oncotype DX test. It's difficult to plan anything ranging from long weekends away to family visits without knowing if I'll need chemo prior to radiation.

Ta-Ta For Now! ;0)
