Great New BRCA Documentary “IN THE FAMILY”

BRCA NEWSWORTHY

There is a new film coming October 1st to PBS on P.O.V. called “In The Family.”

It is a BRCA film about predicting breast & ovarian cancer, the consequences of knowing, and living with knowing. The question is “How much do you sacrifice to survive?”

Can’t wait to see it, thanks so much for bringing this BRCA issue into the public eye.

Good luck…Good health!

Great New BRCA Book To Read

BRCA NEWSWORTHY

Hello Everyone,

While I was getting busy developing this website, I went to the library to do research, and I came across this wonderfully written book by Jessica Queller called “Pretty Is What Changes.”

The book takes us through a journey of her life from watching her mom pass from breast cancer, to her discovering her BRCA status, to her prophylactic measures to save her own life.

This book was in my opinion so well written, and seemed to have told my story as well. If it told my story, I’m sure it will tell your BRCA story also!

I recommend this book for anyone facing BRCA choices…go take a look at it!

Thank you Jessica and book publishers!
