Subject: Testing Family Bonds #6:

Barbara Biesecker says that a positive result is not always the worst news in the world and, conversely, a negative result is not always the best news in the world. In saying this I think she meant that when receiving a positive result you may appreciate life more. Even though you may be diagnosed with a certain disease, in this case breast cancer, you may begin to live life to the fullest. You may also start taking risks in the things you do. In this case, Sherry became a genetic counselor to help others who are in the same situation. Therefore, her positive result is in turn helping others. Also, a negative result may be bad because that person could have been spared and feel guilty for thier sibling who was not. In this case Lani was spared, but unfortunately she feels guilty that her sister was not spared and has to face all of the challenges that go along with breast cancer. Now Sherry and Lani do not have the same bond anymore.
