I hooked up with a genetic counselor connected to a large inner city hospital after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She did a family profile on me and decided there was enough there and with my own health history to have it done. It was covered by my insurance too by the way which was a shocker but you have to meet certain criteria. She has never charged for her services. Yes, I'm awaiting my blood work to see if I will need a second dose of RAI even though a positive tall cell lymph node was not phased by the first dose and I had to have a neck dissection. There is a good possiblity I may not need it but don't know for sure until my thyroglobulin results are in. It will be a month Thursday. Can you believe the hospital lab is that behind. In the past year I acquired sudden hearing loss with pulsatile tinnutis in my right ear and they can't find the cause although pulsatile tinnutis usually indicates it is of a vascular nature so that is been taking up my time currrently. I noticed my hearing is getting progressively worse which was confirmed by a recent hearing test. Never a dull moment. Good luck, sounds like you'll almost ready for the Cheese Cake Factory, treat yourself!
