In my post on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 I shared with you that I had undergone some genetic testing. Well, I received the results from the test today and learned that I have a BRCA1 mutation. This means that I have a hereditary form of breast cancer. When speaking with the doctors about my condition it was concluded that I most likely inherited the gene from my mother’s side of the family.
I think I handled the news very well. Actually, I kind of suspected that I carried the mutation due to my family history.
