I hope, hope, hope you don't have the gene.<BR/><BR/>I had a friend of a friend who found out she had the gene and she was planning on having everything removed. I was horrified. But once it sunk in, I realized living with the unknown would be horrifying too.<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are with you.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01215000341567119958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-75185770323226962252007-10-22T03:16:00.000+02:002007-10-22T03:16:00.000+02:00wow - o wow. everyone has said it all so well. - j...wow - o wow. everyone has said it all so well. - just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughtsAwkwardMomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854477296635420810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-70197111497726269702007-10-22T02:14:00.000+02:002007-10-22T02:14:00.000+02:00So sorry you have to even consider these sorts of ...So sorry you have to even consider these sorts of impossible questions. Have you (or could you) get the genetic test for the BRCA2 mutation yourself? Knowing if you possess it would at least give you a better sense of whether the radical surgery would be necessary. I would be reluctant to undergo any surgery without a really good sense that it was absolutely positively essential. (And from another -- late blooming -- but fairly well-endowed chick, I can totally appreciate your attachment to the girls -- would hate to loose mine, too). Now really hoping you get some good news on Tuesday.Pamela T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11474998003921896431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615589477786951216.post-43087144075691770592007-10-21T23:15:00.000+02:002007-10-21T23:15:00.000+02:00I am so sorry to hear about you going through all ...I am so sorry to hear about you going through all of this.

As a fellow "well-endowed" girl, I often thought I'd jump at the chance to lessen my load. But not under those circumstances, not with all that emotional turmoil. <BR/><BR/>I can understand how your thoughts change from moment to moment. Don't pressure yourself to decide. Listen to the counselors, discuss it with family and trusted friends, ask for second opinions from drs you trust. Take as much time as you need.<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you during this tough weekend. Hope your mom continues to get good news.Waiting Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487061896648183375noreply@blogger.com
