• I hope that other women can benefit from my experience. Cancer is still a word that strikes fear into people’s hearts, producing a deep sense of powerlessness. But today it is possible to find out through a blood test whether you are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, and then take action... It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested, and that if they have a high risk they, too, will know that they have strong options. Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

• La reducción del riesgo para las portadoras de BRCA2 incluye la toma de tamoxifeno. La extirpación de los ovarios antes de los 40 años reduce a la mitad el riesgo de cáncer de mama. Desgraciadamente, la vigilancia del cáncer de ovario es insuficiente para detectarlo precozmente, pero las píldoras anticonceptivas reducen la incidencia del cáncer de ovario hasta en un 60%.

• Back in my mid-20s I was told I'd never be able to have children as I wasn't having periods. Doctors tried to start up my monthly cycles, but when nothing worked, they actually offered me a hysterectomy. Without it, they said I might get ovarian cancer in the future. I chose not to have the operation, and am so glad I didn't.
