Genetics Testing
Because of my young age, a next step in the testing and screening was to see if genetically I was pre-disposed to this. After a in depth counseling session, we understood that my DNA would be sequenced to find the presence of cancer markers and abnormal chromosomes. This would have a tremendous impact on our family, and on a positive note, leave a wealth of health information for many generations to come.
Given the rushed schedule of events, my blood tests were put in a rush process. The outcome of the testing would be a factor in my treatments in terms of chemo and radiation.
One week later, I found out that my genetic testing came back normal. Which puts my back into a lower risk category for cancer to develop again. Phew, one less thing to think about now! Back to the other 1,000,0000 things :)
Keep up the good job and generating the crowd!
