Add your voiceIf you'd like to add your own story to our Voices of FORCE pages, please complete our Voices of FORCE form. My journeyI am 40 years old and have tested postive for the BRCA1 gene. I have not been diagionsed with any form of cancer yet. I had my ovaries out in 2007 and continue to doing many studies @ MD Anderson. The hardest part of my journeyThe hardest part of my journey is watching my Mom being diag. with breast cancer for a 2nd time. This is why I want to try to participate in many studies. Someday I know we will find a cure for cancer! If I could do it over againI would not change a thing. I hope to continue to volunteer and do what I can to help find a cure. My participation with FORCEFORCE has brought attention to genetic cancer, something no one had heard of 5 years ago. So many people are getting early detection and so many lives have been saved. Other thoughtsFORCE is awesome! It is nice to have people understand what you are going through. I try to share my experiences, maybe this will help someone in the future. |
