Bric-a-BRCA
I have a BRCA1 gene variant.
Now what?
At age 61, I learned I have a BRCA1 gene mutation, which means I have a very high risk of getting breast, ovarian, and other cancers. I decided to create this website/blog for several reasons:
-
To keep track of everything I'm learning and how I feel about it -- an online journal and medical record
-
To share my experience with family and friends who want to know how I am doing and what decisions I've made...and why
-
To help others who are going through a similar BRCA journey so they can benefit from what I've already learned
​
I am a very open person. I will be writing in ways that some will feel is "TMI" (too much information). If this describes you, I invite you to stop following this blog! Feel free to contact me via email, Facebook, or phone instead.
