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.
