I thank God every day that my tests came back that I didn’t have the BRACI or BRACII gene as well a a more obscure gene for ovarian cancer.

But, after much thought while waiting for the results, I would have a hysterectomy&/or mastectomy if the test cam back positive. Disclaimer: I have 4 kids and have passed the point of having more.

After watching my mother battle ovarian and colon cancer, I will do what ever I have to do not to go through that.

And, please, the screening for colon cancer isn’t the most fun thing in the world, but bit the bullet and just do it!! Cancer is so much worse than a day or 2 of discomfort!! (My personal cause)

Are you talking about colonoscopy? Or something else?
