Good news!

A few weeks ago, I had some blood drawn to have some tests done to see if I have a genetic mutation that contributes to breast cancer. I just got the results in the mail, and there were no mutations detected!

Having the mutated genes could more likely mean I'd have a reoccurance, so it's a relief to know that likelihood is greatly decreased. Plus, when my doctor discussed with me about having the test, she said if it were positive for mutations, it would affect any future treatment, including preventive measures like having a hysterctomy. So good news on several levels!
