Hi there. I'm Teri. I have the BRCA1 mutation. I am at the point in my journey where I am waiting for my surgeries. My hysterectomy & oopherectomy is scheduled for October 9th, and my DIEP PBM is scheduled for January 12th. I am a married mom to 2 sons, one is 17 (Steven), and the other just turned 1 (Brady) at the end of August. I've known about my mutation since February of this year, and have been blogging about it since about March. I even started writing a memoir a few months ago. I have high hopes for it. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.
p.s. what's with the math required? I'm glad it's just simple addition!
I have no idea what's with the math—it's how the site was setup–lol!
A BIG WELCOME TO YOU! Truly sorry it took soooo long, the site was being re-hosted & the email got messed up too!
We are back on track now. We are all here for you….any questions you may have–you can ask in the forums or if it's personal- you can always email me privately. We then send a private email out to the group & i will either anonymously send you their messages or post them anonymously unless they want to post themselves. (holy–what a sentence!)
The beauty of this site is that if you want to stay anonymous-you can. EVERYONE can participate this way.
