So, I cried for the third time


As I mentioned previously...if not here then somewhere...prior to today, I had only cried twice over cancer. Well, I confess that I cried today for the third time. The difference today is that they were tears of relief and joy. I received a call regarding the results of the genetic testing. Everything came back negative. I cried because that means my precious baby girl and my dear sister remain in the "normal" risk category. They did NOT suddenly move from 12% to 80%! My reaction was a surprise, even to me, but WOW, what a relief.
For once in my life, it's nothing weird or "special". I'm just part of the 70-80% of cancer cases that just happen.
Aaaaaand....breathe....

Love to all,
Andee
