I have no idea how I'll react to anything right now. Positive STD results, at least I know what I'll do. In that case, I'll email the widow to tell her, so that she can get treated.
As for the breast stuff, I have no idea. I guess some of it depends on the specifics. You know, am I gonna die? A big part of me says, "Oh, goodie! I won't have to do anything!" I doubt that will last long, though.
So, that's your answer: I have no clue what my reaction will be. First, of course, the fight to find a place that will do the tests in the first place. Let's start with that bridge. Paperwork is started to try to get a mammogram through the county. If that doesn't come through, I've got a back up idea that I'll try. Once we get that part done, then we'll worry about what my reaction will be.
One other thing, of course: I have never *liked* my breasts. That will probably add a whole lot to this whole equation.
