It means that I don't carry the mutated gene that passes cancer from one family member to another. It also means I don't need to get a mastectomy or hysterectomy and they will start screening me right now for colon cancer and the insurance company will cover it. It also means that the baseline for our blood related family for mammograms will be 31 and the insurance will cover it also! (of course, this is how it relates to the current healthcare system we have).
It means that my boys are NOT at a higher risk of prostate cancer!!!!
WOW, what a relief!!!
We also chatted about the 4 vs 6 treatment plan and my Dr. is 90% on board. She wants to chat with another oncologist to make sure that is the best treatment I could get (assuming I don't do 6, they want me to do 6). Another relief.
About to start the drugs. I am trying today to have the mind set that it's ok I'm having all this in me, so that the drugs work faster, do a good job, and get out of me as soon as possible. So that's what I'm telling my mind to tell my body. I'll let you know if it works!!!
