My husband's family did test positive for their breast cancers so we decided that Mark should be tested too. I remember waiting and waiting for the results and thinking about our daughter and what this might mean for her if Mark had the mutation. He is the only one in the family of 6 children who did not inherit the BRCA2 gene. We are so grateful but it's kind of hard to celebrate when his 5 sibling have it you know? So, we just breathed a sigh of relief and kept on living. <br />I'm so happy for your family-<br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624297216872916313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-43090738316103002522012-04-14T23:11:03.641-04:002012-04-14T23:11:03.641-04:00Thanks guys!

I was thinking it would take three weeks or something. And I am glad the news was good!<br /><br />Steve's mom had breast cancer and then he had testicular cancer at 25, and after his treatment he went into serious cancer researcher mode. He discovered a "cancer cluster" in his hometown, which means there was a statistically significant increase in the disease there, in people his age. He contacted the woman who did the study for CA but there wasn't ever any solid findings about why.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220334396409452136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-33723034340308552832012-04-14T21:13:55.791-04:002012-04-14T21:13:55.791-04:00My ENT told me to go to the Mayo Clinic website an...My ENT told me to go to the Mayo Clinic website and look into genetic testing for thyroid cancer since my father, brother and sister have it. This is not supposed to be a hereditary cancer, but it sure as hecks feels like it is. i have been wondering about environmental factors as well. Like, we didn't grow up near Three Mile Island or anything, but my sister suspects our family dentist didn't protect us from xray radiation?? We are grasping for straws here, and I am dragging my heels on this testing. So glad about your sister's results. Keep up your great work on the health front!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-20304582057406914902012-04-14T11:37:55.308-04:002012-04-14T11:37:55.308-04:00I know this -- all of it -- in an entirely differe...I know this -- all of it -- in an entirely different context as I've struggled for over seventeen years with my daughter's "seizure disorder of unknown origin." It's the flip side of technology and "knowing," and the wondering never stops as far as I have experienced it, although the quick humored phrases like "crappy luck" suffice much of the time.<br /><br />I am so glad that this hurdle for you and your sister (and your daughters) is cleared and pray that there will be no more.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-4763686706175078012012-04-14T10:24:15.959-04:002012-04-14T10:24:15.959-04:00I am very glad.
