NO BRAC genes~

I received a call from the Breast Cancer Survivorship Center at KU Cancer Center today and they said that they genetically tested me for 65% of the BRAC genes and I was negative! This is good because it means I am at a lot less risk of developing ovarian cancer!

I also had my echo cardio gram at Mid-America Cardiology in Liberty. It is like a sonogram of your heart. No results yet... the cardiologist has to review it and then they will send it to the doctor who ordered it from KU. I am pretty sure my heart is okay though, but then again...I was pretty sure I didn't have cancer either. LOL

I can't wait to get this surgery out of the way on December 9th. I want to start out the new year (2012) CANCER FREE!

Tristan Jon

Tristan, my oldest was born as an adult, I think. He is mature beyond his years, and not only is he smart as a whip, (honor roll student) but he is very social, a friend to everyone and very much into sports. He plays football, basketball, soccer, and his favorite sport is baseball. His nickname is "Noodle"! He is in the 9th grade this year. Tristan was sweat tested for CF after Trevor's diagnosis, but the test came back negative. We have not had him DNA tested to see if he is a carrier or not.

Trevor Marc

My second amazing young man is Trevor. Affectionately known as "Trev of Edge". Trevor is extra special because he was born with Cystic Fibrosis. It is a genetic disease that affects his lungs and digestive system. He has the double delta F508 mutation. He is a real trooper though. Even though he has been through two major surgeries, you would never know there is any problem with him. He is very smart (honor roll student) and very active, he plays sports, loves to swim, loves video games and always wants to spend time with his friends. He is in the 7th grade.
