Genetic Testing

Yesterday Ken and I went to OKC for the Braca test. I thought I was going to give a little blood, but I was surprised. We met with a genetic counselor, who was very impressive. She asked a lot of questions about family members. Since I come from a very small family it was fairly fast and easy. She drew a diagram of the family and made notes about each member and added dates. She was very knowledgeable about all things concerning genes and cancer and spoke about it in such a way we had no problem understanding the information. She also was very patient about all our questions. The one thing she was eager to check out was my brain tumor pathology report. I hope there doesn't turn out to be any connection there.
Ken is working today. I have spent the morning in my creating room. I sent a project off in the mail. I went to get some material for another project, took it to the quilter, and picked up another project from the quilter. It feels so good!
Next week will be busy. I am hopeful chemo could start next week and I am not sure how much I will feel like doing, so I am trying to get things organized.
Take care and enjoy the weekend.
