BRCA PREVIVORS AND SURVIVORS—-check this out!

posted on February 6, 2011 at 3:23 pm

 I just finished reading a book from one of our BRCA previvors and survivors members and I wanted to recommend it to anyone facing the preemptive decision of having a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and or oophorectomy.

The book is: BEYOND THE PINK MOON by Nicki Boscia Durlester.  You can follow our link for all information. If you would like an autographed copy of the book, you can e-mail her directly at: nicki@beyondthepinkmoon.comShipping will also be free.

Please order her book, as it is a very inspiring account and honest look at the issues we face. Nicki, has also offered to give back to our previvor and survivor community, by donating 25% of the books sales if you mention previvorsandsurvivors.com.

http://previvorsandsurvivors.com/forum/other-brca-previvor-blogs/beyond-the-pink-moon-a-memoir-of-legacy-loss-and-survival/page-1/

 It is her personal memoir of legacy, loss and survival.  I found the story to be unbelievably riveting. No matter how many stories I hear from our members, it always moves me to hear someone’s journey and what brought them to our site. We, who are diagnosed positive with the BRCA gene mutation, all have the same fears for ourselves and our families, and somehow having this sisterhood here, brings us all together.

As always,

Be well you all…..

BLAST THIS WWP2 Gene PLEASE

posted on January 25, 2011 at 1:23 pm

Bloomberg news has reported that scientists have identified a “rogue gene” ( WWP2)

Attacking the gene in the future will make a protein in our body stronger & will enable our bodies to stop the cancer from spreading.

Hopefully medicine in the future can provide us with drugs to target this WWP2 gene.

I HAVE A QUESTION…

posted on January 4, 2011 at 9:26 pm

I was just speaking with a fellow breast cancer advocate & we got involved in a big discussion. Basically, cancer is a big big business to MANY people, so the big question that we have is HOW WILL WE EVER GET OUR CURE WHEN CANCER IS SUCH A BIG BUSINESS?

Anyone have an answer for us?

Avastin Controversy

posted on December 17, 2010 at 7:19 pm

  

BRCA NEWSWORTHY

Thursday, December 16, 2010 The FDA rejected the breast cancer drug Avastin. It will still be used to treat other types of cancer, but the FDA states it failed to prove that the drug helps more than it hurts breast cancer patients who are taking the drug or even prolongs their life. Tell that to the masses of women taking this drug who feel that Avastin is the only hope they have against this dreadful disease.

 

 

 

 

 

High Prevalence of BRCA Mutations in Breast Carcinoma in Situ

posted on at 7:18 pm

BRCA NEWSWORTHY

On December 14, 2010 Myriad Genetics, Inc. published their study informing us that women who have a family history of breast cancer have yet another reason for BRCA testing. Apparently, a large percentage of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer in situ are BRCA positive & again, are at a high risk for invasive breast & ovarian cancer.
