Amanda’s Diary

So I put  so much of my life online I thought I’d document this Incase it could help someone going through the same thing. I’m not complaining that this is happening, God has blessed me way too much and I’m blessed they found it and can prevent it from becoming cancer. But I’m going to do some blogs about it. I’m not sure if it’s to help me go through my feelings or I just like to talk a lot.  I’ve only had one appointment so there’s not a whole lot to talk about today. So as most of you know my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She went through chemo and a double mastectomy and hysterectomy. She’s all good now. PTL. But she found out her cancer was caused by a gene mutation called Brca 2. They recommend everyone in the family get tested after that so Sarah and I got tested. Just a simple blood test (mine wasn’t so simple but that’s another story) Because my mom has it we have a 50/50 chance if having it. Sarah doesn’t have it, but I do. So the gene...

if you’ve found this blog, there’s a good chance I know you in real life. If not, let me introduce myself.  I’m Manda. Im a Christian. I’m 28 and married to the best husband in the world. His name is Dillon.  We have two kids, Blair  and Luke. This year Dillon has heart surgery to fix SVT. My mom was diagnosed with  and beat breast cancer.  We just bought our first house and had our little boy only 3 months ago so life has been crazy!  I started this blog to document everything happening since I found out I have the BRCA2 gene mutation, making my chances for ovarian and breast cancer higher than the average person.
