Step One: CHECK!

The results of the P53 came back much quicker than I expected which was a very nice surprise. I think it just took 8 or 9 days.  I've just been too swamped to post anything. It was negative!  Yay!  This is huge because those that are HER2+ or Triple Negative breast cancer tend to have the P53 mutation.  I just really hope I'm BRCA1 negative too.

This means I'm NOT at a higher risk for other host of cancers.  If I'm able to have children, I will not pass this along since I do not have this genetic mutation.  I can check off step one!

I have a visit with my gyno next month for a routine check up and to see if we can get a better gauge of my ovary functions.

This wonderful news was much needed during a crazy time and when I've experienced loss.  More to come.
