Resources to BRCA Community and Beyond

I am a BRCA1 previvor who underwent a bilateral mastectomy in 2023 as well as a saplingo-ooporectomy that same year. While I was and still am grateful for the opportunity to be tested for this and other hereditary cancers, it was not an easy journey. Because of that, I want to help others who may find themselves in the same difficult place as I was-what should I do to stay cancer free?

As a result, I published my own memoir written in both English and Spanish called ‘Modified-The Journey to My New Normal’ which is available on Amazon. I also wrote a children’s book, “Will Mommy Be Okay?”. Lastly, I recently created a free app called BRCA Box Drain Log to help any patient recovering from a mastectomy or a patient who requires JP Drains. This app is available on the iOS Apple App Store or you can go to brcabox.com

I hope that you find my resources helpful if you are on the journey of deciding to get genetic testing, have tested positive for a hereditary cancer or are at the point of a positive breast cancer diagnosis and require a mastectomy. You are not alone and I hope that you may learn from me and feel a connection. :pink_heart: :blue_heart: :dizzy: https://apps.apple.com/app/brca-box-drain-log/id6774968274
