BRCA Results in - I'm negative!
Had my meeting with the genetics councellor this morning and got the very happy news that I am negative for both BRCA 1 & 2. There is virtually no direct family history on either side of the family, but they tested me because I was 48, premenopausal at dx and Ashkenazi Jewish background.
Needless to say I am relieved, mostly for my 2 beautiful DDs age 18 and 21. I saw my onc. afterwards, who had told me I would be negative, and of course he was very happy for me. But he also reminded me that my DDs, mother and any sister I have (only brothers, he said they would not be at risk now) still have 2x the risk of the general population. Well, we'll be vigilant, but I am so thankful that I am negative for these genes.
