[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad you are trying to get in today.  We aren't trying to scare you, it might be nothing.  But, with your family history, I would take this very seriously. The doctor obviously is.  When I have had lumps, I was told to get a mammogram "sometime," not that day.  Also, as a side note, why did you decide to leave your ovaries when the rest of your family removed theirs?[/quote]
I am taking it seriously.that is why I am waiting for them to call me with an appointment for this afternoon. my other family members, Grandmother, mother, great- aunts, aunts did not have a choice in removing their ovarie . They all had cancer and had to have hysterectomies. That's why my grandmother only had one child ( my mother.) I was trying to have a child first. [/quote]

I think that sounds like a good idea.  Have you babies!  I haven't tested positive for BRCA but Johns Hopkins thinks the cancer in our family is genetic but not something they have a test for.  So I was told to go ahead and have my children and then to reevaluate after they were born.  I now have two kids and am about to explore what options are best.  Sounds like you are doing all the right things.  Hopefully by this afternoon you'll be back on here telling us it was one big false alarm!!! [/quote]
