Marilyn Mitchell Publishes Finding Solutions to Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer eBook

STOKE-ON-TRENT, U.K. - June 10, 2013 - PRLog -- With celebrities like Angelina Jolie making the decision to act before their cancer has appeared, many other women may be asking if they can have the same opportunity. A new eBook, "Is There a Choice - Finding Solutions to Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer" gives women the information they will need to make that difficult decision and moves the solution to solving the mystery or family breast cancer one step further.

The book traces the deadly effects the disease had on three generations of women. Poignantly written in non-fiction, author Marilyn Mitchell describes in detail the effects that breast and ovarian cancer had on her grandmother, her mother and aunts and then into her own generation of cousins and sisters. Readers will see how it affected their lives and those close family members who stood by them

"If you or a family member learn they have been tested positive for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer gene (HBOC) it means you carry a BRCA 1 or 2 gene mutation and you now have a 90% chance of developing this disease at a young age,” states Marilyn. “What do you do now and where would you go for information and support? Today, there are new options and alternatives to vastly improve your odds of survival."

This information is targeted to adult women and men between ages of 25 and 65 who have a suspected family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer.  Family and friend  caregivers, health caretakers and hospice providers that deal with cancer victims and their respective families throughout the illness will also benefit from this information.

The author encourages people to get genetically tested if they suspect they carry the BRCA gene.  This testing is available from your local doctor and will take a big step in solving the mystery of how breast cancer occurs in generations of families. In most cases, the test is covered by health insurance if you can prove a definite family history of the disease.
