\"\"<\/a>I got THE phone call tonight. I happened to be at the hospital pretty much all day yesterday, so I had plenty of time to bug the nurses about my genetic test that I have been waiting on for what seems to be ages. It has been sitting in the back of my mind as the genetic test decides whether or not I keep my ovaries (40% chance of ovarian cancer if I tested positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutations). I had myself prepared to have my ovaries removed if I did in fact test positive for the genetic mutation. I also worried for my nieces and relatives.<\/p>\n

I am NEGATIVE for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations!<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is great news for all of my relatives on both sides!<\/p>\n

Now My Soapbox<\/h2>\n

A woman’s chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer<\/a> is one in eight. So for every woman you know, out of eight of them, one is likely to become diagnosed with breast cancer. That is a lot of women, and pretty scary! My chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer at my age was 1 in 233 (although I technically have had cancer for a lot longer, possibly as early as my late teens, but that is another story), which is still pretty high odds to me. Breast cancer statistics are scary, there is a reason that everyone knows someone who has had breast cancer.<\/p>\n

So please ladies, check your boobies!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, a reminder to those who were going to join us for the Komen Race for the Cure on May 7th – our team page is here to sign up<\/a> – Silvia is ordering shirts on the 22nd (the shirts run on the small side, so you may want to go larger than you would normally get) – so if you want a pink camouflage Elemonators shirt you have to let her know ASAP. \ud83d\ude42.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
