I met with Kyla the genetic counselor. She had a very upbeat personality and put me at ease right away. She suggested that we do another test to verify the results. Then she told me the statistics. One thing that was actually on my side was my age. I am 56 years old. She explained that the older you get without getting these cancers, the less chance you had of getting them. Kind of the opposite of non-genetic cancers. These cancers increase with age.
She gave me a list of doctors to see and procedures to take. This was going to be a long process. These included getting a breast MRI, hysterectomy and a visit to the dermatologist for a checkup. I had some work to do.
