Finally got Loo Bear's genetic results back. He's inherited my balanced translocation. The GP's receptionist sounded so chirpy when she reported the results, "I think that's good isn't it?". I struggled for a moment before replying, "Well, it's not as bad as it could have been."
Truth is, I'm devastated. I know it could have been worse but all I can think about is the heartache the BT has caused me over the past decade and what it will mean for Loo and his future partner if/when they start a family of their own.
I can handle ASDs and related issues but for some reason this chromosome crap is so much harder.
