FIRST AND LAST IN THE FAMILY?

Bob Resta, genetic counselor and heck of a guy, called today. I do not have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Yay for all my female relatives - unless we've got some crazy cancer gene they don't know how to test for, they have no more chance than the next person of getting it. Bob says I can keep my ovaries, too. So, good news all around!!

I am breathing a big sigh of relief for you! That is fantastic. Now lets get that stupid cancer out of you and just be done with it, shall we?!
