Fantastic Great News and don't know yet news

The most wonderful news! My BRACA 1 and 2 tests results are back and are NEGATIVE! I had it done because my mother had breast cancer on one side back when they were doing radical mastectomies. 10 years later it came back on the other side and another mastectomy. 10 years later back in chest wall. And now I have triple negative IDC. So this is huge for me and my daughter and our 5 (soon to be 7) granddaughters!

The don't- know- yet- news is the fever and chills I've had since Friday evening. The oncall onc gave me a choice of going to ER or trying an antibiotic at home. I chose antibiotic. The fever went up and down all weekend and even from 98.9 to 102 while I was in my onc's office this morning. Could be viral. Lots of cultures done. Waiting for results. White count fine. Tomorrow's chemo on hold until fevers sorted out.

And MORE WONDERFUL news. The tumor was originally around 2/12 cm on Dec 27. After 2 A/C treatments, she could NOT feel it today!

Thanks for letting me share!

    Great News!
    I felt the same way when my test came back negative! was so releived that I could not pass them on to my granddaughter! From the time I was diagnosed that was my biggest fear because of all the cancer in my family. I will deal with what I have too but I couldn't bare looking at her beautiful face and thinking of her dealing with it. I pray that there will be a cure before any of our children have to do with this.

    Praying that you feel better soon.

    Hugs Nana

    Good News...
    Angle....I know the feeling of relief on getting negative BRACA 1 & 2....I, too, am triple negative with a daughter and two granddaughters....when I had my first go round with the beast I was told that "as a rule" (always exceptions) that triple negative is not usually hereditary....what a relief...and I am the ONLY one to have breast cancer in my family....so very happy you received the good news..

    Hopefully they can find the cause of your fever and get you on the mend!

    I love Fantastic Great News!
    So happy for you, Angie. It's interesting that in spite of your family history that you are BRCA negative. Go figure.

    About that fever thing - you know I told you I had mystery infections every single cycle. My docs took it seriously as yours is by doing all the cultures, etc. My good friend, however, is in the hospital because her docs did not take her seriously enough. Please take good care of yourself and continue to monitor everything. It sounds like you're in good hands.
