Today I went to the genetic counselor.  It was very informational and I had fewer questions to answer than I did a year and a half ago when I had my first panel done.  The first test ran 8 genes and all 8 came back for no mutations.  This new panel will test 83 genes.  The thing I find interesting about it all is that you can have a mutation and never get cancer, or you can have no mutations and end up with cancer.  Most breast cancers are not a result of gene mutations.  So, there is a good chance everything will come back normal again.  The results should come back in 2-4 weeks and they will call me with the results.
