For women who are considering their options after being diagnosed as a carrier for the BRCA 1 and/or BRCA 2 gene.
Guest presenter, Lucinda Hossack, Cancer Genetic Counsellor at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre's Familial Cancer Centre, discusses issues that can arise from a diagnosis including implications for family planning and fertility, body image, preventative action (including surgery and the use of Tamoxifen) and navigating these issues if you are single or in an established relationship.
Following this, three different women who have made three different decisions, with three different outcomes, share their stories.
