Today, I'm blogging
over here, where I've put myself "out there" in an intensely personal way. I'm a tad nervous about what may get posted in the comments section of the piece, but hopeful, too, that people will be respectful of the tough choices faced by those of us affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) -- and the decisions we make to preserve our health and save our own lives.
As I always say, if the post raises awareness about BRCA mutations in even one family where they weren't considered before, my "out-there-ness" will have been worth the effort. For more information about these genetic defects, visit the
FORCE website or be in touch with me directly.
