Three Daughters, Three Journeys

Meer over het boek

This book, a fiction, deals with how young women who have inherited BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutations deal with their impending breast or ovarian cancers. Many women--actress Angelina Jolie is an example because she wrote about her struggle with the inheritance of such mutations in an op-ed to the New York Times--follow her example in surgically removing their breasts and ovaries. The book also provides a glimpse of how cancer may be treated in the future through oral consumption of food, rather than going through highly expensive and toxic chemotherapy and radiation.
