EnglishTal como se relató a Erica Rimlinger Imagina caminar en la playa en un día ventoso. Arena entra en tus ojos. La arena duele, pica y ninguna cantidad de solución salina puede desalojarla.

As told to Erica RimlingerI can’t remember a time when I didn’t have the fear. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was a senior in high school, and I was her caretaker until she passed away when I was 27.My mom’s genetic tests showed she carried the BRCA gene, which I knew meant I might carry this genetic legacy too.
