Living with Molly: Here We Go Again!

🎵 The Chain – Fleetwood Mac (https://youtu.be/kBYHwH1Vb-c?si=bmBsioKAD5beFgXI)

Chain of events – DNA chain – Family connections

So just when I thought I’d got to a point where it was time to switch my brain off and relax for a few weeks before the next stage of treatment, I got a phone call today about my genetic test results.

Apparently I don’t just have one altered BRCA gene.

I have two. BRCA1 and BRCA2.

Course I do, I’ve said before I’m an all or nothing gal 🫣

At the moment, that’s about all I know, a letter is on its way and there will be another appointment to talk through what it all means, the implications for me, the implications for the kids and any next steps. I don’t know much more than that yet and my brain is too full tonight.

My brain currently feels like one of those kitchen drawers (we call ours the shit-tip drawer!) that’s got so much shoved into it that every time you try and squeeze one more thing in, something else flies out and very little makes sense. Takeaway menus mixed with birthday candles, blu-tac and old batteries, and a Nokia from 2010!

The last few weeks I’ve been given so many leaflets, with enough medical terminology to last me a lifetime, and now we have this to add into the mix. Cheers for that 🙄🤣

The sensible thing to do now is wait for the appointment, find out what it actually means for us all, and stop googling. I’m going to get a brew, listen to a bit of Fleetwood Mac and get to bed.

The chain will still be there tomorrow – as will Google 😉

PS more gifts today (anyone would think I’m poorly!) – both beautiful – the plant from my Molly girls with gerberas – the pink gerbera was our logo🌸 and gorgeous flowers from the Christie exec team ❤️ I definitely feel loved 🥰
