EricF Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 ....and be thankful. Here's what I just did: I just got back from the jeweler picking up a pair of diamond earrings...$533 bones! Here's why I did it: Her sister had breast cancer, with the typical surgery involved and preparing for follow chemo and radiation treatment. Her mother is facing the same thing in the next few weeks. Her two aunts have already been through it. As you may have guessed, the BRCA1 gene mutation is present in her family. We went to Duke University Medical Center last week for the test....today we got the results...SHE IS NEGATIVE FOR THE GENE!!!!! The way it works is that the children have a 50/50 chance of having the genetic mutation. We won the 50/50 lottery!!! I tell ya...this mutation is death sentence...bad mojo all the way around. My wife was/is extremely lucky...and extremely grateful, as am I. We had planned to celebrate our Valentine's Day this evening instead of tomorrow...since she is working her second job tomorrow...what a celebration it will be!
