I saw my oncologist today. She has decided to order the Integrated Brac analysis blood test and the Myriad My Risk update test for me. The fact that I have a new breast cancer in the other breast 4 years after the last breast cancer and the fact that there has been so much cancer on my mom's side of the family has encouraged her to do this testing. I am concerned because if it is positive that means I will need to have a double mastectomy. She said that the test can take 2 to 3 weeks. I have an appointment with the breast oncology surgeon on the 27th. I am sure she would wait until this lab work comes back before she will make a decision on what to do next.
I can't imagine what you are going through. It must be so very difficult.
I will be thinking of you,
Katrina
