The link below is to the FORCE website ("Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered"), which you may hear me talk about from time to time. This link explains the term "Previvor"
FORCE Previvors & Survivors : Cancer Previvors
Here is another link - what FORCE has to say about Risk Reducing Surgery.
FORCE Publications: Newsletter: Spring 2011: Risk-reducing Surgery
As I was exploring the site, I just found that they have a Boise group! They didn't last time I checked, so I'm excited to hear about what this will mean! Maybe there will be a group of people going through what I'm going through that I can meet with and talk to in person!
Welcome to My BRCA Blog. I'm Amanda, I'm 30. When I was 28, I tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation increasing my risk of Breast Cancer up to 84% and my risk of Ovarian Cancer to 27%. I recently had a prophylactic mastectomy to reduce my risk. I am using this blog as a forum to express my feelings through this journey as well as to keep others in the loop.
