No Cancer Gene!

In December, I met with a genetics counselor.  Because my mother had ovarian cancer, she recommended I be tested for the genes that show a weakness for cancer.  I got the results back and was happy to learn that I do not have the gene for cancer.  Yea!  That is also good news for our three daughters, as they could not have inherited that gene from me.  There is a possibility they could have inherited the gene from their father, but unlikely as no one in his family has had ovarian or breast cancer.  It is also good news for my sisters.  Since two of us have been tested with negative results,  it is unlikely, though not impossible that the others have the gene either.  So happy news all around!
