Genetic Testing

posted by:
Lindy

Just a quick note to say that I saw Dr. Vander Woude today.  She is extremely happy with how I’m responding to chemo.  She said the tumor continues to shrink. 

I also got the results of my genetic testing and it’s negative!  This means that I do not have a mutation of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.  Therefore I do not need to have my ovaries removed and it also means that Brooklyn, Max and Samantha are not at increased risk for cancer.  We are so relieved; especially for the sake of our kids.

    HI Lindy,

    Thanks be to God! What good news about the tumor.
    Happy Anniversary! You two lovebirds! I remember your wedding like yesterday – It was an absolutely beautiful day. You were a lovely bride – the groom was pretty handsome too. And you are still both lovely and even more beautiful. Look at how many blessings in those 11 years and the blessings will keep coming even while on this short journey.
    Hugs~

    That’s the best news I’ve heard in a long time!!! I’m sure this was one of the biggest worries for you guys-so happy to hear that all turned out well and Happy Belated Anniversary! You’re getting so close I hope the rest of the week goes well for you! Congrats and praise God for both the great news and the anniversary! Hugs and Prayers

    Oh, Lindy and Dusty that is just wonderful news! Tears are flowing down my cheeks as I write this.
    I’m praying for you today as you go to your 2nd to the last chemo treatment. One more and then you can say “bye, bye chemo-land”.
    See you Friday night!!!
    Love you all,
    Jana

    We are so happy to hear the good news. Hope this treatment goes well for you
    Love to all

    Oh…Praise the Lord! Every time I read a post like this one (with good news) it literally takes my breath away because this is exactly what we’re praying for – good news!! 🙂 Oh Lindy…good good good! I’m so happy! This was a good start to my day to hear this. In my devotions again this morning, I believe the Lord lead me to Psalm 4, and how fun it is, because I just read it thinking of you and then I read your news and of course it fits perfectly – God, you’re so awesome.. Psalm 4 – especially verses 1 and 3 – the Lord HEARS when you call to him – when we all call to Him on your behalf – therefore, we need to continue constantly in prayer for you because He DOES hear us and answers! Phillipians 4:4 – I will say it AGAIN: Rejoice!

    Great news! Hope these results cheer you up some! I’ve been missing one of my favorite fake drummers for a while. Your way too upbeat and full of life to be held down by sickness. I feel bad we haven’t seen you in a while, but you are in our thoughts all the time, and we check your blog everyday, ( although we don’t respond to everything). I still haven’t seen your bald head with one of your scaves on, pretty sexy I bet!! haha, don’t worry, you don’t have to edit anything. I guess I would be lying to say you don’t have some tough days ahead, but you’ll be just fine in the end. We love you and Dusty and the kids very much, and can’t wait for this to be behind you. LOVE

  12. Tina Amaya says:

    Lindy – this is GREAT! God is good, all the time….. continued prayers.

  13. Aunt Kathy says:

    Hi Lindy;
    What a sigh of relief- I’m sure you were due for some positive news! One more treatment-counting down the stages and praying for each step closer back to health and normalcy for all of you!
    Loads of Love,
    Uncle Paul and Aunt Kathy

    I am so happy to hear that! What a relief. God is working with you every day. Your faith is strong and you will beat this! I think of you and your family and pray daily for all of you. I admire your strength. I’m sure some days you question it…but you are amazing! You keep fighting and praying along with everyone else! You’re close to being done with chemo! YEAH. Take Care and if you need anything at all … just let me know! Love you guys! Carrie
