Lori, thanks for your information. Sounds like you went through quite a bit. Hope you are doing well.
I do have the gene, but it is more concerning to my siblings and children. Since it has been 16 yrs since my first cancer and I am 78 yrs old my oncologist said a lumpectomy will be all I need. (Of course the final say is mine) I feel comfortable with my decision and medicine has come a long way. So glad our animals love us anyway we are.
