When I went for my annual exam, the MD told me that my insurance would pay for BRCA genetic testing. Two of my Aunts and one cousin are breast cancer survivors. Last Fall, one of my Aunts had two surgeries and radiation for a second breast cancer diagnosis, 22 years after the first one. She does not carry the BRCA genes but has a variant.
I found out today that I do not carry the BRCA1, BRCA2 or have a variant BRCA gene! A little bit of stress was lifted from my shoulders. It is crazy how I didn't even know I was carrying the stress until it was lifted! Many thanks to Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
