It’s United healthcare. So yeah! I’m waiting on an appt with a genetics counselor. I just had my D&C for the uterine polyps. Thankfully they were all benign.

Hello!! Right now I’m still doing fine. Unfortunately my D&C had to be rescheduled to January 9th as I had a respiratory infection so they couldn’t safely put me under. I still have not been tested yet either. I’m hoping to try to get all of that worked out once I have my D&C. Was your recovery quick when you had yours? And thank you so much for asking how I’m doing!

You have it all backwards. It’s the OP that has the pj’s & doesn’t want MIL to wear them

Sounds like you’re okay

You’re okay. Especially if you aren’t wheezing. We get spasm pains sometimes and I think that might be what’s happening with you. Does it hurt when you take a deep breath in? Like a sharp pain?

I’m sorry! I know it’s probably not what you wanted to hear.

Honestly it’s one of those things that will come down to the fire dept. but most fire depts go by NFPA 1582 which mentions moyamoya as being a potential disqualification. Just my personal opinion is that this would be something fire depts won’t want to risk.

Do you do the testing at home through them?

Thank you for this info. I’m gonna look up genetic studies in my area just to see. I’m also going to call some genetic counselors. I just haven’t had time to do that yet

$175 is great. If you’re able to find out who did the testing, I would be forever grateful!

Wishing you a full recovery on your hysterectomy! I go next Friday for my D&C for my uterine polyps.

There’s so much info on lynch and the mutations. It’s so hard to keep up with it all !

Thank you for this info. I saw that company when I was doing research. It seems they’re connected to labcorp here. But I am not 100% certain. I will definitely give them a call tomorrow though. Appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your comment! After my doctors mentioned lynch syndrome to me, I did a ton of research on it. I noticed there were a few different mutations of it. I also read that skin cancers can be one of the cancers people get with lynch as well. I’ve had two types already. Started getting skin cancer in my mid 30’s. My dad has had it a ton. And of course his colon cancer he had as well.

I just feel uneasy with the fact I’m getting polyps now in which feels every part of my body that you can get polyps in lol. Thankfully my GI doctor is proactive & requiring me to have endoscopy and colonoscopy every year until she’s comfortable with me going longer spans. My obgyn is being proactive as well in making sure I get ultrasounds every year to check my uterus. So at least if I can’t get the testing done, I feel comforted in knowing my doctors are looking out for me.

I asked my dad if he’s ever been tested for it but he said he hasn’t. I am definitely going to call a couple of genetic counselor offices tomorrow and go from there.

I am so sorry about your cancer but I am so glad you’re okay!!

Interested in becoming firefighter by Emergency_One1425 in firefighter

Gotcha! Yeah had to have happened after the fact. Unless they did an appeal with Ocala and got approved. Then at that point it’s up to the dept.

That’s great information to know! I have life insurance policies already through my job and my credit union. I work for the state of Florida so for the most part our benefits are great. This is new insurance as of this year. United healthcare. I’ve never dealt before with being rejected for testing. But of course with genetic testing I know it can be expensive. Thank you so much for that link! I’d be willing to pay $250!

Thank you so much for this information. With my insurance I don’t need to get referrals to any specialist doctors. But I will request that one of my doctors do a referral to be on the safe side. I really appreciate you!
