Good News, Good News

We've been anxiously awaiting Laura's genetic test result. The wait is over ! During our appointment this afternoon with Laura's surgeon for a "port check," we were told that the results were negative for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes - which essentially means that Laura has not inherited the breast cancer gene nor does she need to worry about transmitting it to any children she and Joshua may have in the future. While this information does not change the treatment plan, it is significant and has lifted Joshua and Laura's spirits. Great end to another day that Laura is rating a 10 (out of 1-10) !
