I did it. In 4 weeks I'll know if I inherited a mutation that makes me predisposed to the "girly" cancers. Holy frigging crap.

That's excellant news. I'm glad you did.

Cheers for you! I know how much it took to do that. And no matter what the outcome it's better than not knowing.

And you've got people who support you no matter what, but you know that.

[talamh_sidhe]

yeah, but it helps, hearing what I already know. :) I'm scared, but at least I'm not running away anymore.

[darlingfreak]

And it's OK to be scared. As the old saying goes, being brave isn't not being scared, it's doing what needs to be done anyway. Not being scared is just foolish.

Oh, and just to bring a little cheer:

(or, in other words, thanks!) :)

Congratulations. Especially for having the courage to get tested.

Which one are you in danger of having inherited?

[talamh_sidhe]

Thanks. :) I'm getting tested for a BRCA1 mutation that likes to cause breast and ovarian cancers. scary!
