BRAC2 Results 21st August

2

BRAC2 Results 21st August Patiently waiting for my results to see if I am BRAC2 (mum is), went for the blood to be taken two weeks ago and the time is really dragging… Have good days and bad days, getting over emotional, angry etc…

Fingers crossed for a negative result. I am sure it will be positive though. Already decided I will have Preventative surgery with re-con asap.

Will let you know how I get on.

Hi Lisa The waiting is really awful. I had to wait a month for my BRCA1 results, then when I got written confirmaton, I saw it was dated less than 2 weeks after my blood test, so I could have spent 2 weeks less worrying about it all…

But remember, you have a 50/50 chance so it may well be negative. Either way, it’s definitely best to know so you can start to take the necessary steps.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you & hope you can manage some time before then when you’re not thinking about it!

Love

Hi Lisa Just a short note to say, I will be thinking of you on the 21st, the not knowing one way or the other is the worst.
Please keep in touch,
Take care,

Hi Lisa Hi Lisa - like the others, will be thinking about you on Monday. It’s a tough day, but at least you’ll know for sure what you’re dealing with - no more wondering.

You’re a Manchester girl too (in terms of treatment) aren’t you? Will you be seeing Professor Evans on Monday?

Good luck anyway. Take care.

Bev.

Thank you For your kind wishes it really does help.

I haven’t slept properly for a couple of weeks and cannot concentrate on anything, so I am a bit all over the place !

I am getting really anxious now, last few days wait… I just want to know now, it doesn’t change anything I know as my decisions are already made if my result is positive.

Beverley, I am a manchester team girl, I have seen Prof Evans twice in the past but the last couple of times my consultant has been Fiona Lalloo, Fiona is on holiday so I am getting my result from my cousellor Carol who I have seen for the past 6 or so years so I would have wanted it that way anyway, it is just going to be me and her with my family and best friend waiting outside, mum thinks I am selfish but I just want to hear it myself for a few minutes and to take it in without anyone elses reactions to worry about.

I will be in touch on Monday to let you all know how I got on…

Lots of Love
