Genetic Testing Consideration – Sept 2009

September 14, 2009

Dr. Guintoli was very concerned that I had developed 2 unrelated & major cancers in a 3 year period.  He recommended that I consider Genetic testing to see if there was a reason for all that had happened.  I asked about the benefit of it.  He indicated if “something” were found in terms of my genes, it would be useful to my siblings & relatives in my blood line.  I was wondering if the Dr’s wanted to know for Scientific reasons about what was happening in my body & the fact that I am surviving … just a thought.

He also told me he had gotten calls & email from my TEAM of Sarcoma Doctors.   They wanted to know how I was doing.  He indicated they were very protective & territorial of me & my health.  I just smiled & said, “thanks”.
