I attended a screening of In The Family, a film which follows Joanna Rudnick, a 32 year old filmmaker, as she deals with testing positive for the BRCA gene (Coming October 7th to P.O.V. on PBS.) In the film Joanna toils with the decision of whether or not to have her breasts and ovaries removed or to risk, against incredible odds, developing cancer.
Two weeks ago I wrote about the loss of my sister-in-law’s sister, Mary, to Breast Cancer. She has a 17 year old daughter, who will be attending school about one hour from my home and is likely struggling with the question of ‘do I carry the BRCA gene?' The day before Mary passed, her sister asked me if I would be available for Lanie. Now, faced with the reality of being a role model and friend to this lovely young lady, the significance of the message of In The Family is very high on my radar screen. Not only do I want to pass along this information to Lanie, but to every woman, because we all know someone who can benefit. More info, click links.
