Mammogram

So I have been researching all these sites about the BRCA gene test..I had mine done and it came back negative but I'm so confused on what the lady told me. She said where my mom has not had the test done that my neg. could be false. So I need to get my mom up there and get the test done. I went and had my six month mammo done on Thursday and i can't even explain the anxiety i had. I was seeing spots and felt like i was going to pass out. They did the scan then made me sit in the room for over an hour. Every time that happens they have found something. I still have calcification's in each breast so I get soo nervous that one has grown or changed. I really didn't want to have another breast MRI and lumpectomy. She came in and said I could go home but they needed the radiologist at Utah Valley to look at my scan. They told me I probably had to have another MRI. So lets say that I was stressed till Friday morning. Dr. Anderson called me and said I can go 6 months without one if I do a self exam every month for sure and if anything even feels slightly different, then I have to have one. PHEWWW! lol Kinda crazy that my life will consist of this stress every six months for the rest of my life. But I have to say not testing and being to late to catch cancer is not an option. I have been reading lots of blogs lately ( http://crystalandskyler.blogspot.com/ ) and this one is my fav to follow. What a journey. That lil boy is sooo strong and his mother is amazing. They have dealt with so much in their lives. I can't even imagine. Its sad to think that childhood cancer is so common and you never really hear about it. It makes me want to get my kids regular blood work and scans done.

So much has happened the last couple weeks to dear friends that I just have to say I am so thankful to have healthy kids and wonderful husband.

Rk is doing great in Arizona and finally has really good grades...Its been really hard for me to have him move. I have raised him for six years, full time. So its been really hard not to talk to him or see him everyday. I am happy though that he is happy now. Conner has to go down there for Thanksgiving so we will get to see him for a short period then. Here is a pic of us opening morning on my rifle elk hunt.
It was very cold that morning. :) Dave got his elk so it was exciting. I didn't even one spike the whole hunt :( So i hope Robby gets his in November.
