Well I went today to the CA doc. My bestfriend went to him when they found her breast CA. He is proavtive, which I like. He is arranging the cancer gene test and a 2 others. His is tryin to keep me local when I have the blood tests. But he said that I am extremely high risk so He might have to send me out of town. That woulde be pittsburg or johns hopkins probably. But I would like to stay local. Fior gods sake all they have to do is draw the blood and fedex it out. So I am hoping so. He has given me 2 options if it somes back positive, preventitive chemo or radiation or double mastectomy with reconstructive with a few possible chemo or radiation treatments. Well I already voiced my wishes and it would be reconstructive surg. I just want peace of mind. i dont want to wait around waiting for cancer to attack me. And what if it did happen a few years from now and god forbid I didn't have insurance when it happend. I can't go thru all that. He said that he should have an answer for me by they end of the week as to where I can go to get it done. But now that I have to wait for that means that I probably cant book a ticket to goto new orleans to see DH for my b-day weekend. Oh well, it's not like I can't go another weekend.
Anyway here is my contribution to the 50,000 posts.
