Great news! Still a step ahead of BRCA 2.

[Lnmum]

I had a total hysterectomy on 7/2/14 (and sling placed as a bonus).

No sign of malignancies! I am so very thankful that I beat cancer to my ovaries! Having the BRCA 2 positive and history of ovarian cysts,endometriosis, and fibroid tumors. I have no doubt that cancer would have popped up in the next 2-3 years.

This puts me one step closer to my goal to remain NED. It hurts, but I am so relieved! Dr. Marie Rowe is an awesome, sweet, skilled obgyn. If anyone is in the Greenville, NC; please consider her for your doc. She prays for each patient before surgery. She is at Greenville Women's clinic.

Happy 4th and blessings to my HER2 family!

Glad you are doing well in the BRCA department! And have made it through another round against cancer.

Loren,

Glad you took the action to prevent other types of cancer.

When I finally had the hysterectomy/oophorectomy due to family and personal cancer history plus a tiny BRCA 1 (Variant of uncertain significance), the surgeon told us afterwards that there was hyperplasia found on the lining of the uterus.

It takes a while to recover - walking 30 minutes a day helps.

Sending you good vibes.

Jackie,
Thanks! Walking 15 minutes is challenging, because I begin to feel faint. A friend has a pool. I will be getting in it 5 times a week as soon as my gynecologist checks on me.
Your timing for your hysterectomy was impeccable! Way to go!
Have a great day!
Loren
