Debra,
I am sure someone can correct me if I am wrong, but the results of the genetic tests would not indicate whether or not you have cancer or any reoccurance. Just whether or not it might have an hereditary basis. That can be scary enough and you may want to take an audio recorder along as well as a friend or family member so that you can make sure you understand and remember what they tell you.
I sure know the scary feeling.

Hugs, and take a deep breath
Oh, and don't forget to let it out!
