Good news....for once!

Mom had the genetic testing done to determine if she had the mutation in her BRCA genes. If she had the mutation then the chances of recurrence were not very good odds--so if the mutation was present the next step would have been a double masectomy. She got the word today that she does NOT have the mutation which is a huge relief! Once the chemo is done she will probably still have to go for radiation should not have to have surgery. Also, this is good news for myself and my two pretty little nieces. If mom had the mutation in the gene there is a risk of it being passed down. So good news there! 2nd Chemo treatment is still on for the 23rd.
