Test Results: Negative for BRCA Gene

It's been forever since I wrote a post here on my little blog!

Tonight I had to share my good news with you, my kids, brother and sisters, cousins, nieces and nephews...

Three weeks and two days (who's counting?) ago, I had the BRCA gene test done. I weighed the pros and cons for a long time before making the final decision to go ahead and have it. I researched extensively via Google University and I must have asked a hundred people their opinions first. I also had a dear friend (Linda), who made it her business to strongly encourage me on a consistent basis.

Most of you know that cancer has invaded my family and I've lost too many family members as a result. It's hard not to worry wonder who might be next? Besides the obvious, I was also concerned about the possibility of being flagged by insurance companies if it came back positive. We won't even talk about surgery. I know, it sounds a bit dramatic, but I'm just being honest here.

I was in the grocery store this afternoon when my doctor's office called and told me that my test results came back Negative for the BRCA gene. Yes! My life is still in God's hands and I am fully aware that there are still no guarantees that I won't get cancer, but I can breathe a little easier tonight.

With Praise and Thanksgiving, I thought you would want to know. :)

In His Grip,
Angie

p.s. Please pray for those who have lost their loved-ones and miss them like crazy.
