Book Reviews of Apron Strings: Inheriting Courage, Wisdom and . . . Breast Cancer
Book Review: Apron Strings
Summary: 5 Stars
The author spoke from her own experience and that of her family having a gene that creates a higher risk for breast and ovarian cancer. She wrote the story in a way that all could understand her emotional delima for preventative surgery. Since my daughter, twin sister and myself are going through this same thing now, it was more than just an interesting book to me.
Summary of Apron Strings: Inheriting Courage, Wisdom and . . . Breast Cancer
It was no coincidence. Apron Strings is the painful but courageous story of Diane Tropea Greene and her family, a family that was decimated by cancer. Diane later learned that her cancer was caused by the BRCA2 gene mutation for breast cancer, which affected both the women and men in Diane s family including Diane. But knowledge is power, and the lesson of the Tropea family is important for anyone who suspects their family has too many cancer diagnoses to be coincidental.General Books
