Genetic test results... not what I wanted to hear.

My youngest daughter turned 30 this year.  She's been through some rough times.  Her 4 year marriage turned into a nightmare.  It was really hard to get out, but she finally did it.  The divorce was final at the end of July.  There are no children involved to keep her tied to her ex and his family.  Stress and overwork have taken their toll, but things are starting to look up.  She has a wonderful, supportive new man in her life, she loves her job, she's planning on finishing her RN courses and go see the world as a traveling nurse. 

When your Mom has had breast cancer and all three of your Aunts died from breast and ovarian cancer... you need to know.  Test results came back this week... positive for BRCA1.  Yes, I know it's better to be forewarned so you're more aware and take preventative measures...blah blah blah.  It still makes a Mom sad that my baby will worry about every symptom, every bump.  Sadder still... she may decide not to have children.
