Genetic Testing

This was very interesting. We sat for an hour and a half with a genetic counselor. Basically she runs through your entire family history/ancestry and determines if you are a candidate to be tested. She thinks I am a perfect fit for Cowdens Syndrome. Basically, it increases your risk for certain types of cancer, particularly Thyroid and Breast. We have to wait two weeks before the results are in. If positive, we will treat aggressively. Until then, we will likely get our other opinions and not worry too much. :) Thankfully, regardless of this test, we would still be looking at stage one. Getting MRI results Thursday and as long as that shows no spread, we're looking pretty good!

So until Thursday, we keep our eyes upward.
