BRAC Analysis

My BRCA1 and BRCA2 tests came back negative!  This is great news.  It means that I don't have the most common 'breast cancer genes' which really means I do have those genes (as does everyone) and that they are not broken!  Yeah!  That means that for now I get to only have a single mastectomy and I do not need to have my ovaries removed.  They are still doing other genetic tests that may have other implications, but for now, things are good- the best part of this, is that a high chance for breast cancer is NOT something I will pass down to my kids.
