I just got off the line with genetic counselor. GREAT news - I am BRCA1 and BRCA2 negative. There have been no genetic components found in my disease so far!!
I will need to follow up with the genetic counselors every 1-5 years to see what advances have been made in the field; it's likely that there are other genes associated with breast cancer that simply haven't been discovered yet. I will get testing every time a new gene mutation is discovered and will hope that the results are just as good as this time.
This is amazing, wonderful news. When I see each of you that are impacted by this, I will give you a giant, loving hug of gratitude that you are in my life and that I will not have to see you go through this. (If you do go through this, I will also be at your side, helping in every way possible!)
With love and relief,
Kristina
