Book Reviews of Pretty Is What Changes: Impossible Choices, The Breast Cancer Gene, and How I Defied My Destiny
Book Review: Great read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book in one day. It's a great read. Jessica really makes you think about your options. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and the BRCA test has always been in the back of my mind. It's definitely something that needs more discussing.Book Review: Wonderful and Touching!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am faced with the same genetic predisposition to breast cancer and it was a life-saver to read about another person's triumph.Book Review: Pretty Is What Changes
Summary: 4 Stars
The author explained her gene risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer in an emotional informative way. I purchased the book because my daughter, twin sister and myself had just been tested for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation. Our test results are that we all have a "variant" that is the same so it is genetic but it is a variant that the lab has never seen in the whole world thus it is "uncertain" what it means other than it is genetically being passed in our family. Reading this book helped me understand gene mutations. The author truly is "beautiful" inside and out.

Book Review: FANTASTIC MEMOIR OF THE BRCA JOURNEY
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must for anyone with the BRCA mutation or anyone who wants to understand a woman's journey after she finds out she has a BRCA mutation. It is brutally honest and therefore, absolutely compelling. As one who has walked this path, I can tell you that Jessica is very brave to lay it all out there for others to benefit from. I wish her health and happiness.Book Review: BRACAnalysis!
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading this book I realized the medical community has only identified 3% of BRCA mutation carriers!!! We all need to go to www.myriad.com and see if we meet the red flags to be tested so we can educate ourselves to prevent a first or second breast cancer.
