Genetic Testing

Today I had a consultation with a medical doctor who explained how the genetic testing all works. She took a blood sample and will ship it off to Salt Lake City for testing. It is a very expensive test however I'm hoping that the health insurance will cover most of the cost. I already met my deductible and will have them call me first and let me know of any out of pocket costs. If I decide not to go through with the testing than they will just throw away my blood sample. If I do decide that I can afford the testing than it will take 6 weeks to get the results back. The doctor did recommend it not because of a family history but because of my age. She thinks it was probably a sporadiac case of cancer in our family. I will let everyone know what the final results are from the BracAnalysis.
