Pretty Is What Changes
Submitted by mwilliams on Thu, 2008-04-03 00:36.This is a disturbing story. Jessica Queller talks about her biographical book Pretty Is What Changes, that chronicles her decision to have a prophylactic double mastectomy at a young age after discovering she has the breast/ovarian cancer gene mutation.

I wondered if any of those doctors bothered to tell her that even with her ovaries removed, there is STILL a risk of getting cancer in that area, especially upon the scar tissue.
