Confronting Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer

Sue Friedman, Rebecca Sutphen, Kathy Steligo and Mark H. Greene

This new book was just published in 2012 by FORCE, Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered, the national non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. A paragraph from the back cover gives an excellent overview of the book:

“Confronting hereditary cancer is a complex, confusing, and highly individual journey. With its unique combination of the latest research, expert advice, and compelling personal stories, this book gives previvors, survivors, and their family members the guidance they need to face the unique challenges of hereditary cancer.”
