Clarissa Foster - Understanding BRCA
>> Buy the book
Do you have a close relative who has died from, or is experiencing, aggressive breast, ovarian or prostate cancer? Have they been tested for the BRCA gene mutation? Have you?
At the age of 35 and following the death of her mother from ovarian cancer, Clarissa Foster was found to carry a harmful mutation in the BRCA2 gene which drastically increased her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. She searched for a book that would help her to understand the full extent of what it meant to carry a harmful mutation, the options available to her to lower her risk and, most importantly, how it would feel to undergo risk-reducing surgery. Finding nothing that answered her needs, she set about reading all the available medical literature and liaising with relevant medical professionals to answer her questions. This book is the result of that research and of the decision she took based on it – to have a bilateral mastectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. Within the context of her own painful experience of family cancer and of elective surgery, Clarissa explains what the BRCA mutation is, what it signifies, what the individual’s choices are and what the fall out can be in terms of a woman’s body image, identity and sexual functioning
"Clarissa presents the most thorough overview of a BRCA patient's journey. Her story starts years before she realised she might be a BRCA carrier with her own mother's diagnosis of ovarian cancer and covers the decades from her teens to her 30s. She combines the most personal of stories with detailed facts about all manner of issues, including meeting a genetic counsellor, the surgical options available to BRCA carriers which reduce risk and how the various surgeries have affected her physical, social and psychosexual wellbeing. Whether you have just been diagnosed as being a BRCA carrier, know someone affected or suspect you might be considered high risk, this book offers a wealth of information, interspersed with one lady's incredibly brave journey." -- Niki Petrie, Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon.
