Hello everyone and welcome to my BRCA website for previvors and survivors. I’m hoping that together we can create a BRCA home where we can form a sisterhood and help each other. I’m going to try my hardest to get us the most factual and current information that is out there, where we can all stay informed, and make the best decisions about our health, and try to deliver it in a simple and easy to understand way. I welcome all feedback and any recommendations! IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE NAVIGATING THE SITE…JUST EMAIL ME. LOST PASSWORD? EMAIL ME! If you are a previvor  or survivor, please feel free to tell your story in the forum, start a discussion, ask a question, or send me an email. If you have an event that you would like to publish, just let me know!

Please register and introduce yourself in your home state whether or not you are a previvor or survivor. If you belong to a support group–please list it for new members -also in your home state. I would like a woman or her family to be able to find support in her own community. It’s easy, just register (bottom right-under META) then after you get your password, go to the forum, click on your home state and hit-add a new topic.

Please show your support for all the women in your life - your mothers, sisters, daughters and friends.

We are international & domestic now!

We have raised lots of money for our cause & helped many people. I hope to continue to grow with your help. If any of you would like to see a special forum, just let me know. Let me know how you are doing as well!

The best part of this site is that you may remain anonymous! All you have to do is let me know you’d like to participate & I will post anonymously for you. I believe that is why this site has become so popular so fast. You don’t have to join to participate, although if I have your email address I can send you regular private updates.

The website is basically running by itself now. As new info becomes available, it will be posted. If you readers hear of anything important to share—please do!

This coming year my goal is to continue helping women & their families. When you hear of a family needing help, be there to shop, carpool, donate meals, get  gift certificates for salons, entertainment, dining, etc.  Let’s stay educated about nutrition, yoga, exercise…you think of it—let’s make it happen!

I would also like to have our BRCA awareness day in October to coincide with Breast/Ovarian Cancer awareness.  We need to involve our communities. Educate & make people aware & sensitive to our cause.

Be well you all.
Wishing you all continued good health. Thanks for your support!

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!

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!
