Tested . . and awaiting results

Mantra

It feels like my entire summer has been spent . . . awaiting test reults. So now I'm waiting for the genetic testing results, ultrasound results, mastectomy pathology results. I am soooooooooo sick of being sick. My entire vocabulary has been altered to include words that were once completely foreign to me. I remember thinking, what in the world are they saying when they say 0/3 nodes. DCIS. Margins. Grade. Now I can talk intelligently about any of thise terms. Funny how life pulls a 180 every so often. Getting the testing was a breeze. It took less than two weeks to meet with the genetic counsellor. I had enough positive points whiich made immediate testing possible.
