Genetic Testing

Julie1981

Hello

My son has just had the medical assessment at the end of January, they took bloods for genetic testing and they told us it could be months before we had the results! I just wondered what other people’s experience of genetic testing has been?

I feel on tenter hooks and anxious waiting for these results. How did you make you the time go by without thinking about it everyday??

Thanks

Julie

    Hi

    Of course not anything to help I know I appreciate any help I can get so I certainly don’t mind giving it. 

    My son had bloods taken which wasn’t nice to see but they let him have magic cream on (numbing cream) first before they did it. They are apparently ruling out other things but the paediatrician didn’t explain what, I guess not to worry us more than necessary, they are testing for Fragile X Syndrome which I’ve been told is a standard test they do and any chromosome abnormalities. 

    They kept it pretty vague in the medical assessment and just told us we would hear from them when the paediatrician has the results which could be a few months.
