Imagine receiving a phone call that changes your life forever. For many women, discovering they carry the BRCA-1 gene mutation is just that—a life-altering moment filled with difficult decisions and emotional challenges.
We are honored to share the story of Brette Borow, who bravely faced this journey and emerged stronger on the other side.
Mary Renouf speaks with Brette and they take us through her experience of discovering the BRCA-1 gene mutation, the tough choices she had to make regarding her health, and her path to recovery. We delve into the emotional rollercoaster she experienced, focusing on her mental health at each stage—from the initial shock and anxiety to finding support and resilience.
