Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I have never had breast cancer but I have a sister and and aunt who had it. I have always been told my chances of developing it were higher than average. I spend my time googling for info, and here it is, all in one place! Plus the author uses the stories of these women and their personal experiences to help guide the reader through the processes associated with being high risk- everything from genetic testing to surveillance and preventative surgery. It is a book I can always refer back to, not "just" a memoir that gets read once and put away, but it reads like one. The thing I like most is that it is not overly technical so that even someone like me who has zero medical back round can understand it.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who has breast or ovarian cancer in the family!
