Genetic Testing
I was able to get in to have genetic testing done with the breast specialist rather quickly and conveniently the office is located right across from my school. While Carter was bouncing on my knee, I asked questions and consulted with the Dr. It seemed obvious that getting tested was the best choice for me. I started to ask her questions about a mastectomy and the ovaries and she helped me understand the process a bit more. Whew. I felt better after speaking with her and hearing about the process if in fact I do have the gene. I left there that day knowing that I would know my fate in two weeks. Will it be a long two weeks?
