Test results...

So I know I have been away for a while and I'm sorry I should have posted this earlier.  

As some of you will have seen I decided to get tested after finding out dad had ataxia sc3 in may last year after waiting 18 weeks for an appointment with the gene specialist I finally saw some one and she took a blood test. 6-8 weeks later I received a letter saying I didn't have ataxia and I was completely clear. It was an amazing feeling. Dad was ecstatic and so happy with the news. I was stuck until that point with what to do with my life in regards to work and babies however since getting my results I have been able to get on with life. I would have made it work should it have been a positive result but I needed to know either way and it was a huge relief. 

Xx
