What a difference a day makes....

Last night I got the exciting news that the biopsy I did last week (for that tiny spot) was benign.  But now it's a moot point.  I tested positively for the BRCA1 mutation.  I've said all along that I would elect to do a double mastectomy if it was positive (because the risk of me having breast cancer again will be significantly reduced).  I stand by that decision but I have not yet come to terms with the reality of it.  In some respects, I'm relieved that this decision has been made for me but I'm very sad about it.
