The book is the story of a young woman who tests positive for the BCRA1 gene mutation after watching her mother survive breast cancer only to die of ovarian cancer. This excellent book presents the facts in a logical, organized format and addresses the frightening statistic that the 36-year-old author has an 87 percent chance of developing breast or 43 percent ovarian cancer over her lifetime. Jessica Queller is intelligent, funny, gorgeous and most of all real.
I think this read should be required for anyone that has a family history of breast cancer.
Our Book Club met on Friday May 16, 2008 at my place. Alisa served a very delicious Italian Feast, some appetizers, lasagna, and along with an absolute amazing cheesecake topped with raspberry sauce, washing it down with several bottles of wine.
This book discussion was probably one of the more controversial topics we’ve had thus far. The “hottest” topic of the evening was probably the breast reconstruction after having a mastectomy. There were different opinions on whether going through with the reconstruction procedure or not, and personal incentives of their reason.
As soon as we finished the serious discussions, we still managed to laugh all night and enjoy our time together! Cheers!
