Description
Hereditary Breast Cancer could be responsible for up to 10% of breast cancers. The faulty gene which can be passed down through both the male and female line increases the risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer to 70-85%! This journal has been created to raise awareness of the condition and also the choice that women can make to have preventative surgery should they find that they are carrying one of the faulty genes. Featuring the stories of twelve women who have had preventative surgery all proceeds from the sale of the journal will go to the National Hereditary Breast Cancer Helpline (www.breastcancergenetics.co.uk )
