Genetic Testing is weird

My mother had myelofibrosis (a blood disorder) and my father had lymphoma (large cell, which is scarier than my version).  I have lymphoma.  A connection?  I figured maybe, but everyone in the medical world said no.  So I had a huge panel of genetic testing done in September of 2017. In the original testing, everything came back negative.  In September 2018 I got a call that in an update of things, they discovered that I had a mutation of the CHEK2 gene.  That means a higher risk of breast, thyroid, prostate (luckily I don't have one of those!) and colon cancers.  Wait - I already have lymphoma.  Geesh.  So I needed to do a breast MRI and a colonoscopy, despite having had clear annual mammograms and a clean colonoscopy at 50 (I'm really good about doing the testing that I should be doing).   So I had a breast MRI in December (all clear) and a colonoscopy in January (small benign polyps were found). Next steps - Mammogram in June and colonoscopy in 5 years. Yay - that wasn't too hard!

Meanwhile, I had my annual PET scan Jan. 2, figuring it'd be the same old same old.  That's where things went wrong...

Hey - but at least that CHEK2 mutation situation isn't an issue right now!!!
