Finally some good news to share on here! I just got my genetic results and they are negative for the cancer genes that would change my surgical plan. They tested for 13 variants in this round including BRC1 and BRC2. They are still testing for other genetics and not sure how those will impact my future care, but for now I am feeling some huge relief!
So on Tuesday May 6, I will have my lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy.
This still means I have cancer, these results mean I am at less risk of developing MORE cancer in the future. When I recover I will meet with the oncologist and plan my radiation and hormone therapy. This is a really lucky timeline as I should be recovered by the time of Tom’s next MRI and whatever comes next on that part of our journey. I have gotten flooded with messages from everyone since my diagnosis. I feel extremely lucky for you all. Thank you for your prayers and positive energy!
