I am my genes
I'm tall for a woman. Blue eyes. Auburn hair. These attributes are all genetic. BRCA2+ , something else I inherited. I was always told I looked like my father..tall and thin. The strong jaw. It seems that BRCA mutation is strong, because that I got that from mom, along with her nose..thank God. (Sorry Dad) Since I have had the test I think about it a lot. I'm sure those of us that have found out do. I suppose I think about it most because of my kids. My husband and I always notice who got what from whom..lol. My son is me, he looks the most like my side of the family. My girls have alot from their father. I pray that my husbands genes were the stronger and that none of our kids got the BRCA2 from me. Its all in the genes, and this is the one gene I don't want to pass on. If it ends with me I'll be happy.
