Update: The results are in...

DaizyMay22 · May 2013

It's positive. I'm kind of in shock right now, I knew it was a possibility but I didn't think I would actually have it. I have the BRCA2 mutation. I have an 86 chance is breast cancer and 25 chance ovarian. I talked to my mom, who has the gene and that calmed me down a bit. I just want DH to get home so he can hug me. I know I have alot of surgeries ahead of me. I'm not making any final decisions for a while but I'm supposed to schedule a mammogram ASAP. This is going to e quite the emotional roller coaster...Here we go!

Well that is the crappiest way to get a non answer!

FX you get good news. Let us know when you are ready to share.

Oh my goodness. I hope the dr prioritizes those calls for the EARLY afternoon!

MollySm · May 2013

I'll be thinking of you! Good luck!

mkarns · May 2013

GAH! Why did they even call?! Tell us when you find out!

goldenleaves · May 2013

Let us know when you're ready to share results! Also, thinking of you as you make a decision on what to do with the results. Hugs!

I guess they do it so the Dr is able to get in contact with the patient easy. To make it worse DH has a super busy day at work so I can't talk to him until he gets home.

Really! That would just make it more nerve racking. Thinking of you!

I guess I get that logic...but still!

And you can talk to us if you want, you know we are here! But i totally understand that this is a pretty huge thing and if you aren't ready to talk to us that is ok too.

That is crazy!! I hope he calls you soon...with wonderful news! T&P's for you!

jldubb0626 · May 2013

I hope you get some amazing results! Thinking of you!

kittyh8r · May 2013

OH no! I am so sorry that you test positive. I am praying for you and your family.

jldubb0626 · May 2013

I am so sorry sweetie. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

NatnDyl · May 2013

I'm sorry you didn't get better news. I hope that knowing this and having a plan of action will bring you comfort instead of waiting and wondering.

ssimon621 · May 2013

I'm so sorry. You will definitely be in my T&P's.

jja0812 · May 2013

I am so sorry you did not get better news. Hopefully now that you know, you can be (even more) hyper-vigilant with tests and exams. And, like you said, be better-prepared for potential surgeries. You'll be in my prayers.

karleegirl · May 2013

I'm sorry for those results. Request a breast MRI not a mammogram or ultrasound. They're much more accurate.
I will keep you in my thoughts.

MollySm · May 2013

I'm so sorry and I hope your H gets home soon. I hope at least knowing can help you and your doctors with prevention and keeping on top of things. Thinking of you!

suitern · May 2013

My thoughts are with you as you navigate this!

they are having me do a mammogram now and 6 months later do an MRI. I have to have both once a year so I will be screened every 6 months pretty much for the rest of my life.

Thank you so much everyone for your support and words if encouragement, it means alot!

ALane1128 · May 2013

I'm so sorry. You're in my thoughts and prayers! Please keep us posted.

MrMrsandBaby · May 2013

Well that sucks. Sorry, I know it is silly to say but is SUCKS. I hope your DH gets home soon (just in case ::HUGS::). I'm so sorry for the tests, surgeries and pain you will be going through. I hope you are able to work with your doctors to figure out the best course of treatment for you and your family.

More hugs...

Hang in there! The good part is you know and you can get ahead of this before something happens.

good deal. I've been an oncology nurse for 11 years. My center is really pushing the genetic screens and for good reason.
You've inspired me to get this testing. My mom is a breast cancer survivor but she won't do the testing.

T&P!

Thinking about you! Im sorry you didn't get better news

JessieJH · May 2013

I don't post much these days, but wanted to check in to say that I am so sorry that your results were bad. I will be thinking of you and hoping that you can get some great advice and support from those near you. Hopefully you have some good, level-headed people around you during this time!

Hugs!

I am so sorry- what scary news. I am trying to be optimistic- it's amazing in this day they can tell you this information and you can proactively ensure that you live longer. Please keep us posted.

Jlobebe2012 · May 2013

Hi there, I am so sorry you are going through this. It sucks, and it is not fair. My husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer earlier this year. It has changed our family forever, my perspective on life will never be the same. We are closer and stronger, and as of right now my husband is cancer free. I hope the same for your family. Medicine has come a long way and we are fortunate to live in a time where cancer can be fought with a mighty fist. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers as you are faced with many tough decisions in your future.
