Some of our Testimonies

I carry a BRCA2 mutation and have undergone risk-reducing breast surgery and have also had my ovaries and Fallopian tubes removed to lower my risk of cancer. This study is important to the high-risk community and women in the general population, because it means we may not have to undergo such drastic surgeries in the future.

It’s like having an albatross on your shoulder. You never know when/if it’s going to strike. You feel angry for yourself and your family who have to live with it with you as well as face the possibility of having the gene themselves
