I was NOT positive for the BRCA1 or 2 gene mutations. So my genetic counselor gave me some info on a research study done by the lady that found the two previous genes. She is currently looking & identifying other gene mutations related to breast cancer and my family would be eligible for her study because we have at least 4 occurances of breast cancer on the same side of the family. So, I've emailed all involved to see if they are interested in particpating. It would help others done the road and I think that's important.
I also had Chemo 5 with a little side effect to the Taxol..but nothing major. Still feeling pretty good and planning to go back to work soon.
Other than that..we've been getting ready for xmas..went and chopped down a little tree the other day and getting ready to decorate it.
Hope everyone is doing well! Love, Laura

So happy you're still tolerating the chemo as well as you are--and getting ready for Christmas--that's fun!!! You're making my days with your progress. Love & Hugs, Ma
ReplyDeleteKeep that positive mental attitude. You'll get through this just fine. By the way, saw your latest picture. Hair or no hair you still look beautiful. Paul Mueller on the other hand... can't really help him much on his looks. (LOL)

Good to hear the test results. While I think is good that you don't have that gene, it would probably still be good to get into one of those studies. All kinds of benefits to being on the cutting edge. You are such a trooper!

Laura, wondering the same thing as Sher--did you get another 3 feet on top of the first 3 feet--are the roads clear enough for that "go-go element?" Love ya, Ma
