I know everyone is anxious to hear how my appointments went today. I was able to get an appointment with Genetic Counseling this am before my Doctor's Appointment. Had blood drawn and will know the results, whether or not I'm positive for the BRCA-1 Gene, within 2 weeks.
The meeting with the doctor was VERY overwhelming, even Margaret agreed. But also very informative. He gave me lots of information about the cancer that I have, the treatments and surgeries that we can do to fight it, and other resources to help guide me in this decision and his process.
Right now I need time to take everything in and make the best decision for me in how I want to fight this. While I know that everyone loves and cares about me, right now I need everyone to hold off on sharing opinions on what it is I should do. I've been overloaded with enough information right now and really don't want to think about anything else on top of it. I guarantee I will not come to my decision lightly, but ultimately I'm the only one that can make the decision, because I have to live with it.
I am glad you are taking time to decide what to do. Love Dad
ReplyDeleteI completely understand and will support any decision you make. Only you and your doctor should decide what's best for YOU.
